Gong Xi Fa Cai


Better late than never...Gong Xi Fa Cai...which is pronounced as "Gung Hei Fat Choi." This is used to wish friends and family a Happy New Year in China. It's the Year of the Pig. It began on February 4th with Chinese New Year Day on February 18th.
The pig is one of 12 animals on the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. People born in pig years are polite, honest, hardworking and loyal. They are also lucky, which is why many Chinese like to have babies in a pig year. You never know, Layla could be born this year!!!
