Xin nian kuai le! Yesterday was the start of the Lunar New Year. In the Chinese Zodiac, 2020 is the year of the rat, a symbol of fertility and abundance. Looks like our little friend got lots of lucky red envelopes with an abundance of cash!
From Andrew Y., who sends links in abundance! 😀
He looks so excited!
Such teensy hands!
Awwww. I love those red envelopes, with ratties on the cover just for this year!
Such an excited little rattie!
What a sweet little rat!
I’m usually not a rat fan but this little one is just adorable. And s/he looks so excited being the mascot for 2020.
Plus I learned something new today. I always knew Happy New Year in Chinese as Kung Hei Fat Choi!! Turns out this is Cantonese and the first sentence in this post is the Mandarin version. Now I have two ways to wish my friends Happy Chinese New Year.
Such a darling expression on this cute rattie’s face. Those leetle hands are adorable.
Happy lunar new year everyone!
