A lot of you guys know my wife is Asian, and where she comes from, Chinese New Year is a BIG deal. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and if you've never celebrated before, here's why you might want to start.
- You can forget about vacuuming for the day. No sweeping or taking out the trash, because it's like sweeping wealth away and dumping out good fortune. More couch time!
- You are encouraged to light fireworks. Around here, we'll take any excuse to fire off M-80s.
- You're encouraged to eat dumplings. Screw carb counting. Happy New Year to YOU!
By the way, the coming year is the year of the Rat, so you may want to listen to Rats by Ghost while you celebrate.
