And so it was that a lunch celebrating Chinese New Year was held after the service.
The liturgical calendar says the seasonal color is green, but for one day the walls were adorned with red posters and signs.
The table groaned with chicken salad, desserts, and six different kinds of dumplings. I managed to limit myself to one plate, knowing that later that day many calories would be ingested watching the NFL playoffs.
Before the games started we made calls to elderly relatives--more important than calling them on Thansgiving or Christmas--and wished them a new year filled with health, happiness, companionship, and love.
By early evening the 49ers had defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 19-12, an auspicious beginning to the Year of the Rabbit.
Happy New Year!
