The Chinese calendar is based of a lunisolar calendar.
This is normally done by having a year that corresponds to a cycle of seasons and a month which corresponds to a lunation so that the day of month indicates the moon phase and the month of year indicates the season. Also there is usually the additional requirement that the year has a whole number of months, in which case most years have 12 months and the other years have 13 months.

Today is Lunar New Year's Day in Korea!! Everything is shut down--Christian's TaeKwonDo was cancelled yesterday and gymnastics today. Most of the services on post are shut down since the Korean nationals run them.
We didn't see the SuperBowl--Michael ended up having to work, although they gave most of the soldiers the day off to watch. It started I think at 7:30 or 8:00am. It would've been fun to see the commercials!
Love the picture of you and Denise! Very cute!!! I love Christmas!! love, N
