For my first entry, I chose a shirt that features the Golden Pig in celebration of the 2007 Chinese New Year. Happy New Year to you all! The pig is one of 12 animals on the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, which follows the lunar calendar. Chinese astrology dictates that people born in pig years are polite, honest, hardworking and loyal. Being born in a pig year is also supposed to bring good luck and fortune, which is why many Chinese like to have babies in a pig year. I actually saw a news report on TV this evening that said that Chinese hospitals are seriously overcrowded due to couples timing their childbirth so that babies would be born in the year of the Golden Pig.
Traditionally, Asian families celebrate the lunar new year with feasts and prayer.
I chose this t-shirt because I love the representation of the pig, as well as the great colors and Asian feel. It's so festive!
