Chicken Headed Monster

Happy New Year! Year of the Rooster!

The Chinese use two different calendars to keep track of time. The one we use - the Gregorian calendar - and a Chinese calendar. On the Chinese calendar, a new year has just begun! I hope you all have been celebrating back at home!

Each year on the Chinese calendar is associated with a different animal and this year happens to be the year of the rooster. Everything in Hong Kong has been decorated up with chickens and roosters in celebration. I took a picture of this New Year's decoration especially for Colin's enjoyment. Can you believe these crazy heads? Maybe this would be a good outfit for Halloween next year? Or to wear to school?
