It’s rather fitting that my last post in this series should be about family, since I’ve leaned so heavily on my mother and mined her memories for most of the previous ones.
I’m supposed to be thinking especially about her this time of year. Not only is this the time to get together with one’s family, but it’s also particularly important to honor one’s elders and ancestors. New Year’s Eve is reserved for wei lu with the immediate family, and the following day is devoted to visiting grandparents and other relatives, neighbors, and friends to wish them happiness in the new year. (If you’re Korean, there’s a lot of bowing to the elders too, from what I understand.)
So New Year’s Day has gone and passed, I know, but I’d like to wish you and yours and all the moms out there xi nian kuai le! May your Year of the Rat be a prosperous one and filled with good fortune. And may you eat many delicious things.

And may you make a New Year’s Resolution to post more frequently!
Oops… May I learn to poke around more on sites before concluding that they’re not updated regularly. But I did hit Refresh! Don’t know why that didn’t work but then I hit your “Blog” button and found the current post.
