Happy Chinese New Year!

The Chinese Lunar New Year is today and people around the world are celebrating the first day of the Year of the Rabbit!
Kung hei fat choi is the official celebratory cry. It is also a trending topic on Twitter.

Today millions are people around the globe will be gathering with their families, putting their lives in order, cleaning their house for the New Year; and at midnight, they will light firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits.
It is the Spring Festival in China, the most important holiday. And if there is one thing we in the Midwestern U.S. need at this particular moment, it's thoughts of Spring.
