All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valetntine.

Lunar New Year 2025

Tomorrow is Chinese Lunar New Year, or Year of the Snake.  
Enclosed is a Google Doodle of Lunar New Year.

Notice on the left side of the doodle.  Inside the “red” 
square is the Chinese word for  “fortune”.  It is, however,
placed upside down.  The euphemism is “fortune comes down 
or showers from heaven to the recipient.  Therefore, the 
word is placed upside down to represent such good wish(s)
for the New Year. Also, the lit firecrackers are to chase 
away the bad omens or demons. So, it is placed below the
upside down word “fortune(s)”.  By the way, there are no
plurals in Chinese words, so “fortune” and “fortunes” uses
the same singular word.

The long and short for the entire symbolism is translated
something like “may good fortune(s) always shower down
and envelope you.”

A New Year Poem

With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Thy feet.
 
Philip Doddridge 
(1702 - 1751)
