... mainly because Google has a special image and I feel compelled to post it.
What's really funny is that Google appends the year to its image names; for example, the 2003 Christmas images were named "winterholiday03oh.gif", "winterholiday03s.gif", and "winterholiday03sah.gif", with 03 standing for the year. Even though the new year that started today on the Chinese calendar is 4702, the Google image is named "lunarnewyear04.gif".
And if you click on the logo, it auto-Googles "Chinese new year"
If Chinese New Year was yesterday then Chinese Lincoln's Birthday must be right around the corner.
Don't forget Chinese Groundhog's Day.
