Happy Chinese New Year and Tibetan Losar New Year 新年快樂

This is the Wood Sheep year 2142 according to the Tibetan calendar and it is also known as Losar, Tibetan new year is the most important festival in the Tibetan calendar and to last 15 days. The Tibetan calendar consists of 12 (or 13) lunar months, and Losar begins on the first day of the Tibetan year. The Tibetan calendar is almost identical to the Chinese calendar.
The last day of the preceding year is a day to prepare for the coming New Year. The monasteries are all decked up in the finest decorations and a blessing Ceremony is performed on the first day of Losar. Homes are freshly painted, families dress up in new clothes, good food and special dishes are cooked and there is a wonderful air of expectation of what the New Year holds. 
It is also regarded as the year of the sheep or the goat. Regardless of whichever name you prefer, the animal represents the eighth sign in the 12 cycles of the Chinese Zodiac. The goat is also regarded as an auspicious animal that delivers a year of promise and prosperity. Those that are born on the year of the goat are said to possess a lot of peaceful traits. Goats are kind, helpful, and trusting, but also resistant to change.
Be sure to wish your friends, family, loved ones, coworkers, and even business partners on this special Chinese and Tibetan New Year of the Sheep. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Chinese and Tibetan friends and readers a very prosperous, joyful, good luck and great success in the coming New Year. 
我誠摯的新年祝福,順祝身體健康願新年為您帶來新年快樂,友愛和寧靜 祝來年好運,並取得更大的成就
