I'd like to go to Chinatown in New York (or better yet, China) during the Chinese New Year and watch them do the Dragon Dance. I watched it in Chicago's Chinatown and it was cool.

(Or every day is a holiday?) We celebrate what we like and skip what we don't. And by celebrate, I mean eat stuff we don't normally have. Ham for Christmas, turkey for Thanksgiving, extra candy for Halloween, etc. Woohoo. We're such party animals. ;o)B.E.
