Chinese New Year

Certainly! Here's an acrostic poem for the word "Chinese New Year":

Celebrations abound Heralding the start anew Incense wafts, lanterns glow New beginnings in red and gold Excitement fills the air Spring festival so fair

It is a large communal meal consisting of layers of various ingredients like seafood, meat, vegetables, and other delicacies, cooked together in a big bowl or pot. Poo Woo dinner is believed to bring prosperity, abundance, and good luck for the coming year.

The functional full suit of armor is an outer covering which helps in protecting against the external danger. So not only knights but also it is necessary for the horse, who is going on war, to wear some protection.

To protect them from injury, the same as the rider. When a horse and rider go charging into battle where others are swinging swords, axes, maces, and trying to skewer each other with lances, some blows are sure to land on the horse. From the rider's standpoint, knowing he's dead if he falls on the ground, it is better to keep one's horse alive and mobile, which means keeping him uninjured.

The rabbit, or cat - in Vietnamese Astrology - was the animal for 1999.

It depends entirely on where in Spain is being asked about and it varies from year to year as well. The best chances of finding a White Christmas in Spain would be in the Pyrenees Mountains in Navarra or in the Cantabrian Mountains in Asturias. In places south of Madrid, other than perhaps the Sierra Nevada, it is extremely unlikely that you will have a White Christmas.

Mooncake festival is also called Mid-autumn festival. Celebration of Mid-autumn festival has a long history. In ancient times, the emperors had the tradition of worshiping the Sun in spring, and the Moon in autumn. The word "Mid-Autumn" first appeared in the famous ancient book "Zhou Li" (The Zhou Rituals, a book telling the rituals in the Zhou Dynasty). However, it was not until the early Tang Dynasty that the day was officially celebrated as a traditional festival.
