Gong Hey Fat Choy (or Gong Xi Fa Cai)!

January 25, 2012

This week marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year) celebration. This ancient celebration is 15 days of giving thanks, celebrating ancestors, and prayer. Ancient tales tell of how a monster named Nian used to prey on villagers on the 1st and 15th of every lunar month. To save themselves, it was decided to paint the village houses red (to frighten the monster), make loud noises on drums, and burn bamboo to fend off the beast. This worked and the villagers were able to kill the dragon. Chinese celebrations have included these traditions ever since.

What does all of this have to do with Skip Wren Insurance Agency? These celebrations serve as a wonderful example of traditions that have been kept alive for centuries. In our 30 year history, we have prided ourselves on our own traditions: of caring for each and every client as an individual; of providing a positive impact on our community; and of building relationships that have strengthened through time. We are certain that our agency will continue these traditions for years to come just as the Chinese have held their traditions for centuries.

Gong Hey Fat Choy (“Good wishes and congratulations. Have a prosperous and good year.”) from the Skip Wren Insurance Agency!
