Draven!
Alright, so here's my first attempt. ^^; This is Ji, representing Chinese New Year.

The white fur around his eyes, ears, muzzle, and neck are supposed to represent the lion dance, normally held during the festivities. The characters on his side are 'Fu' and "Ji', meaning 'blessing' and 'luck'. Oh and his tail is a firecracker, too. ^^
Edit: Ahhh forgot to add that the flower tucked behind his ear is a plum blossom, symbolizing prosperity, and is one of the featured flowers during New Years. ^^
It's great to drink to someone, and I guess that you will do
A very merry unbirthday, to you
