Happy Chinese New Year!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!  Here we are, beginning the Year of the Rabbit.  Predictions for the year ahead suggest that "the year of the Rabbit is traditionally associated with home and family, artistic pursuits, diplomacy, and keeping the peace. Therefore, 2011 is very likely to be a relatively calmer one than 2010 both on the world scene, as well as on a personal level." (Source: chiff.com, who also wisely caution us to: "Remember, whatever the omens portend, for better or worse, you are the final master of your own fate.")
Here are a couple of photos to get you in the mood:
