The Lunar New Year

Hello!

Depending on who you ask, it's the Year of the Rabbit or Cat on Thursday, January 3rd! This is my sign and I am very excited to see what this year will bring. 

To share in the celebration, I've made a set of three 3x3 inch luminaries or luminarias that have the greeting "Chúc Mừng Năm Mới" (Vietnamese for "Happy New Year") transcribed on each. There is a recipe after all the photos.

I wish you happiness, health, and wealth!
