It's the Lunar New Year!!


Time to bring out the firecrackers and lanterns (not to mentions the heap loads of mandarin oranges!) as we’re about to celebrate 15 days of fun with the Lunar New Year!
Traditionally, each New Year is dedicated to a specific animal in the Chinese Zodiac which is the Dragon, Horse, Monkey, Rat, Boar, Rabbit, Dog, Rooster, Ox, Tiger, Snake, or Ram. It’s believed that each of the animals bestow their characteristics to the people born in their year.
This year we’re entering the Year of the Dragon, and it’s bound to be an exciting and exhilarating year; especially considering the Dragon’s personality!

The Dragon (specifically the Water Dragon) symbolizes such character traits as dominance and ambition. They are single-minded, risk takers and fearless when facing challenges. People are attracted to Dragons’ energy, vitality, enthusiasm and passion; just make sure you don’t get too caught up with their exuberance!

Famous celebrities born in under the Dragon include John Lennon (Imagine!!), Ringo Starr, Al Pacino, Marlene Dietrich and Matt Dillon.

Happy Chinese New Year! And don’t eat too much of those oranges....no matter how tempting!
