happy wood dragon new year to you too, and thank you for this. it’s something i used to keep up with but have let slip these days (also just now noticed the gretchen whitmer quote in the sidebar — i have really been self-absorbed these past few years).
My younger brother was a DEC project manager who lived in Hong Kong for several years. The celebration closes Asia for more than a week as everyone returns to their family village/town and clogs all forms of transit. In the West Coast computer business you had to know when it was and stockpile before hand or you wouldn’t have machines to sell or parts to fix them. It didn’t hurt to put up some decorations to attract the contents of the “red envelops”
