You're probably not wrong ifeel100 - but I've seen it written up both ways. 'Fire' in this instance probably had more to do with the astrological sense in Chinese astrology - being the fire element. I'm certainly no expert but I have seen writing about it both ways in the last few days.

I personally prefer the Golden pig! Isn't he adorable??!! I'm with you Tina I'd like to have one of these!

Happy Chinese New Year to all my new friends here at SavingAdvice.com! Is any other (native-born) American as surprised as I at all the media coverage this has been getting?

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Sometime in the mid 1990s Vancouver Chinese New Year's been a big deal. I should visit my city's Chinatown and get a piggy bank.
