Happy Chinese New Year

Today is the start of the New Year in China.  This year is the year of the rabbit.  There is some good news about the year of the rabbit.    Rabbit years are much calmer than other years, which will be very welcome after a wild year of the tiger.    If you have a child in a year of the rabbit,  they should have a sweet disposition, will be even tempered and obedient.  (I dont think any of my kids are rabbits.. LOL)   People who are rabbits are the luckiest of all signs.     You can read a lot more fun information about the Chinese New Year here..  http://www.theholidayspot.com/chinese_new_year/
