Hello,

Thought I might add more info on this.

Barb's right - Chinese New Year started Feb 19 this year. The 
dates change for each year because it is based on the Chinese
Lunar calendar. Last year, for instance, it had a repeating month.
This year, bec it is a leap year, dates will again change.

As for the Ramadan, it actually started last Jan 21 and ended Feb 19.
It is also based on the Islamic Lunar calendar.

Actually, Chinese New Year was Feb 19th - according to my
Chinese friends who celebrated it.
