The Chinese Year of the Ox!! ..and a competition/giveaway

At the weekend, the Chinese welcomed in the year of the Ox!

Celebrations for the Chinese New Year are always very colourful !!

(Personally,I think it should have been the Year of the Box...cos I am always altering them!!)

But Ox it is..and here's a little snippet of info, before I launch into a fun competition and very small giveaway...

Year of the Ox - 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033, 2045

The ox is said to be sedulous, simple, honest, and straightforward.

Fractious people are said to have an 'oxen temper'.
People born in this year are probably honest, laborious, patient, obstinate, and poor at communication.


So there!



Now for a bit of fun..(wait for this!!)

If you were asked to suggest a new subject for the Chinese New Year,what would be your idea..(i.e. mine is the Year of the Box.)

Doesn't have to be an animal cos I make the rules..!!

But it has to be funny! Hilarious even...you know what I mean!!

You'll win a Tag album..20 tags on a ring... 10 with an Oriental theme,10 plain.

And if you wish to peruse this, in order to see which delightful creature you resemble, just look for your birth year ...
