HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

No, I haven’t just woken up like Rip Van Winkle, and missed January 1^st!

But it is the Chinese New Year and this year is the Year of the Sheep (Ram or Goat).

It is said that people born in the Year of the Goat are creative, intelligent, dependable and very calm. They have a very nurturing personality and make excellent care-givers. They are comfortable being alone and enjoy exploring their inner thoughts.

Some famous people born in the Year of the Sheep are Michelangelo, Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, Rudolph Valentino, Barbara Walters, Orville Wright, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Matt LeBlanc.

The philatelic world loves to celebrate the Chinese New Year with beautifully designed stamps to commemorate the occasion.
