A note from a Chinese colleague:

Dear Folks,

We are ready. We swept the floor this morning, and bought all the propitious articles appropriate for the New Year, paid our debts, and put $ into red envelopes. So, no brooms, blunt or sharp instruments, or dark-colored garments for tomorrow.

虎年萬事如意

恭喜發財！

Everything as you wish
May you prosper in the Year of the Tiger !
