Born in the Year of the . . . ?

I've been traveling recently, hence the lack of posts. Did have a new small notebook to bring along, but somehow spending time with the family managed to edge out blogging . . . .

Tomorrow is back to school day for the kids; one of the homework assignments involved the Chinese calendar and identifying in what animal year you were born. We have a lot of early January birthdays here, so it struck me that we would also have some misidentifications thanks to the gap between January 1st and the beginning of Chinese New Year. Wikipedia confirms it -- so now my eldest can go to school and lecture her class on the lunisolar calendar.
