The year is 4702, the year of the Monkey!
To all those born in the year of the Monkey according to the Chinese calendar:
Kung Hei Fat Choi

Kung Hei Fat Choi back at cha!
This would be a fun night to be over in China.
Who needs to be back in China? All it takes is a large group of East Asian people in an area and it takes on a life of its own. But our group of friends are doing the big celebration this weekend. Best wishes to everyone.

Who was born in the Year of the Pig only because there was no Year of the Jackass available. 
I was born in the year of the Dog … still looking for a woman born in the year of the Horse.

Ox here. But really now…doesn’t the Chinese zodiac make even less sense than the astrological one? Clumping everyone from one year into a characteristic group versus 12 different groups per year?
Go ahead and show me the error of my ways, I don’t mind…(though being an ox, I may, in fact, lose my temper…I’ll just speak eloquently as I do.)
edited because I can’t spell “eloquent.”
Now seriously (yeah, right), since I am born in the Monkey Year as well as my son: do I have better luck this year??? Puhlllleeeeeeze???
My mother was seriously offended when she learned that she had been born in the Year of the Rat.
My wife and I are Pigs.
Daughter #1 glories in being a Dragon.
Daughter #2 hates being called a Chicken. And gets seriously worried when we tell her we’re cooking chicken for dinner.
