There is something so kinetic about 2 holidays falling on the same day, don’t you think?
The ruckus of the Chinese New Year’s celebration coupled with the most famous day of amour- lends itself to a real East meets West kind of day.
I had been in fact very excited at the prospect of 2010 being the year of the White (metal) Tiger. Last year’s Brown (Earth) Ox sounded sluggish to me from day one, the tiger seems so much more exciting and sleek. Finally I thought, some action.
Then I made the big mistake of going onto this site and reading my personal New Year’s horoscope (based on my birth date, time and location). It appears as if-at least for me- Mr. White Tiger will be a carnivorous beast, not the sweet kitty I had hoped for.
“Really?” ‘What exactly have I ever done to you Chinese Horoscope site?!” (FYI- don’t even get me started on the facial mole reading).
So with this new found discovery in mind I’m hoping Cupid’s arrow will pierce the steely tiger’s heart and we all can catch a break this year. (I know we all deserve it!)
To loosen up all parties involved – a festive cocktail is in order.
So I asked my friend Colleen Mullaney- author of It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere for a few yummy suggestions. With the holidays in mind, I’m thinking this one might fit the bill. Perfectly delicious, romantic and right on colorful track.
The golden color of the champagne will symbolized good luck, the blush color of the cointreau- true love and the orange peel-strong wealth.
Bottoms up Tiger! xo
