This Chinese lunar new year, which starts on February 18, is believed to be an especially auspicious "golden pig year" which only comes around every 60 years.
South Korea is going a step further, saying it's the best time in 600 years to have a baby due to an anomaly on the Chinese calendar where this pig year -- known as "red," the color of wealth, follows a year with two days to mark the start of spring.

Lots of little "piglets" on the way!

Happy Tet everyone!!!
(just to point out- it's not just a Chinese holiday eithor
many asian countries go by the lunar calender and celebrate today as their official new years.) Colin's mom and Aunt are Vietnamese- so they celebrate Tet /Lunar New Years today too
