Red Galore

This time of year, most Chinese decorate their homes and businesses with red lanterns and other auspicious items in preparation for the Chinese New Year. With just a few days left before the festive season kicks in, I'm putting up some photos of red decorations to share this moment with you.

    Red is such a vivid and strong color. The lanterns with a bit of sparkle and light will bring enchantment to the celebrations. Your photos are a nice prelude to Chinese New Year!

    That third picture is so crisp but I love the first one. It captures the 'celebration red' somehow.

    Oh wow! Lovely pics!

    Chinese New year isn't that big here in Sweden. Back in the PHilippines, it is.

    I was in the PHilippines in 2010, arrived a week before Chinese New Year. The decorations inside the malls were so great!

    Happy Chinese New Year to you!

    My dentist, Dr. Quoch, and his wife, also a dentist, Dr. Chen
    ( the best dentists I've even visited ) are Chinese and, during my visit last week, I just loved their office, so beautifully decorated for Chinese New Year, with all kinds of red lanterns and other things. The bathroom was incredible. I almost didn't want to leave.
