Happy New Year—happy Year of the Rabbit.
I am reminded of the game I used to play at school in Santa Fe with my British Latin teacher—on the first day of every month whoever said "Good morning rabbits" first would get some kind of rabbit from the other. I still have a smooth black clay rabbit, Zuni or Hopi, from those days.
I never knew the origin or broader meaning of that. I see that mentioning rabbits (more commonly "rabbit rabbit") is something in British folklore, bringing luck.
Here's another explanation, with a cute lucky rabbit picture.
