Happy Near Year!

"I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."
–Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)


In Asia, today marks the first day of the new year, which is the Year of the Pig. According to Chinese astrology, people born in pig years are polite, honest, hardworking and loyal. They are also lucky, which is why many Chinese like to have babies in a pig year.
