Good Luck in the New Year


It's bad luck to bring unfinished business into the New Year. Tet, the Vietnamese New Year, coincides with the Chinese New Year tomorrow, so the pressure was on Severin to complete this beautiful woodworking project for his Asian clients. He'll be painting this custom cabinet project and installing the obscured glass today so it should be ready for the Big Day tomorrow.
Chop Chop, Severin.

2015 Chinese New Year is February 19, 2015. As the Chinese calendar is lunisolar, the holiday is also known as the Lunar New Year. In China, the Chinese New Year is named the Spring Festival as well. In Asian cultures, the Lunar New Year is the most important holiday of the year and is celebrated over a period of 15 days.

2015 is the Year of the Ram. However, it is also regarded as the year of the sheep or the goat. Regardless of whichever name you prefer, the animal represents the eighth sign in the 12 cycles of the Chinese Zodiac. The ram is also regarded as an auspicious animal that delivers a year of promise and prosperity. Those that are born on the year of the ram are said to possess a lot of peaceful traits. Rams are kind, helpful, and trusting. The Ram is also resistant to change.
