It is only 24 days into 2012 and we are already celebrating another New Year! This time it is the Chinese New Year – The Year of the Dragon. A year which, I read is great for starting a new business, as the dragon is a major symbol of good fortune in Chinese Astrology.
Due to the Dragon constellation being accorded the honour of being the guardian of the Eastern sky, the Dragon brings in the Four Blessings of the East: wealth, virtue, harmony and longevity.

It is that time of year again! The time when the masses of the world wind down to spend quality time with friends and family, appreciate their lot in life; and some of course, to celebrate the reason of the season – the birth of Jesus Christ, our saviour.
