February 12, 2002. It is the first day in the Year of the Horse.
It is Year 4699 by Chinese calendar.
For those interested in astrology, it is the year of the Black Horse. (hence the horse picture in the upper left corner)

Fu (the picture in the upper right corner) is the Chinese word for luck.
Around the Chinese New Year, people often put up a poster with this word on it - upside down!
It's the only time when a Chinese word is posted upside down intentionally. (hence why we put it upside down too.) ^_^

I must apologize for the 'roseacea' that seems to be plaguing the cast today... Gypsy used colored pencil to color in the girls, and it turned out like this when I scanned it. -.-;; Stop mixing media!!!
