Happy Chinese New Year

What I find interesting is how they seem to have similar tendencies and are vaguely accurate.. I can see where people put their faith and beliefs into these signs.. for me, they are fun and maybe play a small part in who I am, who my children are.. I of course believe that I am the reason they are wonderful, dynamic, courageous, smart, funny and talented Of course their father is the reason they are defiant, arrogant, domineering, overbearing... well I am sure you get the point..
