2012, the Year of the Dragon!

As you may have heard, today marks the start of the Chinese New Year, and this year is the Year of the Dragon. The celebrations for Chinese New Year are the longest and most important celebrations in the Chinese calendar, starting at midnight on the first day of the New Year, and ending with the Lantern Festival and the dragon dance.

I have a friend who pays rather close attention to Chinese astrology and he told me that the Year of the Dragon brings success, happiness and great fortune. He even went so far as to have a pair of gold & diamond dragon cufflinks made to bring him good luck!

So, I’d like to wish a very happy, successful and prosperous year to all!
