Winter solstice (December 22nd) is a very important solar term in Chinese Lunar calendar. It is a time for family reunion. One of the activities that took place at these gatherings was the making and eating of dumplings or sticky rice balls. Beautiful bowls and plates are used for containers. Some are made from melamine moulding powder which is not only good looking but also easy to hold even with hot food. After the celebration of winter solstice, there will be days with longer daylight hours.

Happy Chinese Winter Solstice to our dear customers!
