Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is celebrated as a spring festival in commemoration of the legend of Nia. Nia was supposed to be a huge wild animal which terrified towns and villages on winter evenings when it came looking for food. The people were frightened as they could think of no way of scaring the monster away.

I wish I'd known, Lois, that they were available when I was going through the dreaded menopause.

Chinese design is so elegant. Reminds me of sitting fanning myself in a blazing hot, stifling classroom. I am so glad I am not in one this year.
