Chinese New Year is a more rational time to send cards than Christmas. Though I suppose the hoo-ha there is much like the Xmas hoo-ha here and both seasons are rushed for those involved. But from a northern perspective, CNY enlivens the flat dispiriting 3 month stretch between western New Year's and Easter. The days may be getting longer but January and February is when the cold and snow happen, so a reason to celebrate is much appreciated.
Once Friday is past I intend to allow this ear infection/ sinus infection/ whatever free rein and luxuriate in illness. I have six days of no work and will make the most of it. But dear lord, LRD is work oriented. Libraries open on a Sunday? Not *exactly* unheard-of-- one or two branches are open here-- but decidedly not the norm. Hope you feel better, whatever.
