Happy Chinese New Year!!

Post by ant »

Dear All

Today is Chinese New Year!


WELCOME TO THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT

:bunny: :bunny: (OK I could only find Easter Bunnies, but they will do :grin:....)

Here's what you need to know
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.
So if you were born in 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987 or 1999 you are pretty well places IMHO.

Yep Naty - aren't we lucky (I'm also a rabbit) - it can sometimes be tough to be so awesome though :millianlaugh: :millianlaugh: :millianlaugh: :bunnyjump: :bunnyjump: :bunnyjump:

Ant - my oldest grand daughter was born in the year of the horse - she has a vivid imagination and is quite complex and hard to understand.

Love,

Hi Ant, Gung Hay Fat Choy! My second graders loved saying that all day Thursday. We made dragons, but I'm wondering if they should have been lions??? JoAnn

Ant,

Happy Chinese New Year to you. Sorry this is late. I was on a cruise, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean when this happened. There were over 1,000 Chinese on the ship and they made a big toodoo over the holiday. I can't remember what my sign is so will have to look it up again.
