Happy Chinese New Year!

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2011 is the year of the rabbit, beginning February 3, 2011 to January 22, 2012.  Are you ready to hop into the new year?  My pre-Chinese New Year hop brought me to Pacific Mall in Markham, where I found this cute Chinese New Year lantern with Disney characters on it.

The lantern was meant to be hung but it was big enough to pose with my Festivals of the World, Chinese New Year Barbie that I decided to have it free-standing.
