So once again, I say: happy Lunar New Year, everybody!

This version has fire-works! (but don't worry, these ones only look real--they're actually made out of magic glowing glitter in little round packages that pop!) Did you know that fire-works were first invented in China? In fact, before they got the name "fire-works", they were called "Chinese flowers", due to the way the looked when they exploded. I put a literal spin on this, and put various leaf-and-flower-like "sparkle-works" all over the tree, giving the appearance of blossoms.

The sparkle-works are being thrown by Urry, Mairead's magical companion, who looks like a tiny cat. She's standing on a basket full of lucky fruits and flowers, including red gladiolus (symbolizing growing up and getting wiser), plus persimmons (the official fruit of Ekaki No Mi) and mandarin oranges (a fruit that symbolizes good luck and abundance, partly because of its resemblance to the sun) surrounding a pomelo (another lucky fruit symbolizing unity of family). Because this is the time that pomelos start to ripen, it's just as easy to find both yellow and green varieties.

The tree Mairead is sitting on is a bare persimmon tree. Persimmons ripen in the winter, but now the tree is completely bare because Mairead and Urry already harvested them all, so they put tiny lucky red lanterns in their place to help add to the scenery, that are specially designed to look like glowing persimmons with tassels. The little red papers on the tree are actually envelopes, called hong bao in Mandarin or lai see in Cantonese, which hold money and are given out as gifts to children, family members or co-workers as a good luck gift. The red paper is actually the special part of the gift, so it's disrespectful to open them and get the money out in front of your family members.

And finally, Mairead is showing off her new pig form for the occasion, with green (symbolizing purity and abundance) and blue (longevity, advancement and spring) fur, and wearing an adorable outfit that's red (for luck and happiness), yellow (for beauty and prosperity) and pink (which has the same meaning as red, but cheerier, because it's lighter!). She also has her fists stuffed in her ears to muffle the loud noise of the sparkle-works. Meanwhile, Urry is wearing a dress that's purple (for romance and love), gold (wealth), and silver (trust).

And finally, the Chinese text on the top right corner says 吉祥如意 (jíxiáng rúyì, pronounced "JEE-shang roo-EE"). translates to "Good luck according to your wishes".
