Chinese New Year 2019 Year of the Pig 猪 (zhū) is upon us! And to celebrate I am holding my first STEEM Giveaway with a 100 STEEM Prize Pot!
Chinese New Year
100 STEEM Bounty Prize Breakdown:
🥇1st Place - 50 STEEM
🥈2nd Place - 30 STEEM
🥉3rd Place - 20 STEEM
If you were born in one of these years your Chinese Zodiac animal is pig:
1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
The story goes that the Jade Emperor decided that the order of the Chinese Zodiac calendar would be decided by when the animals arrived to a party. The pig came in last because he overslept, putting him 12th in the zodiac!
Red packets 红包 (hóng bāo) filled with money are given every Chinese New Year. They are usually given by married couples to children and unmarried adults that are younger than them. Adults also give them to their parents as a sign of respect. Giving red packets with money symbolizes passing on fortune and good luck! 😄
My husband @lasitha and I ordered ours from Amazon!
To enter you MUST:
- Follow me.
- Resteem this post.
- Comment below with a red packet 红包 (hóng bāo) and tag two friends. (* You can find photos from the internet, draw your own, or even take a photo of ones you have, whatever you want. Pig designs are optional.) On 2/10/19 the three most creative red packets from the eligible entries will be awarded STEEM (see prize breakdown above). So be sure to enter before the deadline!
Happy Chinese New Year and Good Luck! 新年快乐

Thank you for mentioning me :). Good luck in the contest.
@wolfhart @intellihandling
LOL thank you. Where am I suppose to get a red packet. I did however find this interesting. After all I was born in the year of the pig. I to was late
Thanks for the tag. It’s worth a vote :)
Oohhh any picture of one . I missed that. Let me see if I can get one
Yup. Get any picture on line. Its usually available in Asian stores/groceries. But I think you can check on line.
In case you haven't read the story/origin of the Chinese New Year, here's the post I made last month.https://steemit.com/newyear/@nurseanne84/new-year-countdown-fire-crackers-and-the-color-red
FYI, its not yet late to wear anything red for luck, health, prosperity and happiness. I took the liberty of checking in your horoscope for the coming year: check what year were you born because there is metal, water, earth, wood and fire pig.
https://www.thechinesezodiac.org/pig-2019-horoscope/
A few things I found interesting:
That’s good news. Health right now is consuming all the air here. I can deal with money and career at some other point.
I have not been out of the house in months. Except for the light show and doctors. We’re getting there.
Thanks Ann
Hello🤗happy Chinese New year 2019🎉🎊
Here is my best 🐖🐷angpao I can choose for this event. Maybe both of you would like to join this too😬
@itchyfeetdonica @angelina6688
Thanks for the mention! :) Happy New Year! But I haven’t seen any red packets around, will think about this - perhaps make one if I find time! ^^

Happy Chinese New Year and thanks for a great contest!

I just loved these cute red pig envelopes!
I nominate two great artists @jenina619 and @aalagenesis
Good luck to all the entrants :-)
I was born in the year of the pig and always hated that fact. I was a fat 4 year old and lost weight at 50. Whenever someone knew my year it was all about how fat I was.
But now I am proud of it. Pigs are strong, resilient, and can survive in hard times. This is the first year of the pig since I finally lost weight and I know it will be a good one.
This beautiful envelope was left sticking out of my purse when I fell asleep during the sermon at church last Sunday. I'm going through very hard times and the money in it bought my food this week. I am so grateful for that gift and it gave me strength to carry on.
I'm not Chinese and I did not know about this tradition until I got to SE Asia about 3 years ago. I feel very fortunate and anticipate a much better year to come.
