There’s something about Chinese New Year that gets to me.  I don’t know what it is exactly.  I always want to eat Chinese food on the night of the New Year.  It’s not like I run to Chinatown to see the Dragon Parade or the fireworks, although one year I organized a whole group of friends to go to Chinatown for a traditional New Year’s meal.  I asked a friend who would know, what were the dishes to order and that was the first and the last time I had the traditional chicken soup made from the chicken’s feet.

I like to keep a small figurine of whatever astrological animal is representative of the year on my desk.  Then the little critter joins his or her astrological mates on a shelf in my bedroom.  Somewhere I read that this year was a special snake year because it’s the year of the Water Snake whose color is black, so I’ll have to find not just a snake but a black one at that.
