| Monkey Cookies for Chinese New Year 2016 |
We're 15 days away from the Chinese lunar year and 2016 heralds The Year Of The Monkey. If you're into Chinese hocus-pocus, the Monkey Year is predicted to be a rather challenging year ahead for those born in the year of the tiger. Grrrrrrr! Yep, I am a tigress!
My HORRORscope reads, "Tigers won't have such a great year when it comes to health and luck, because the Tiger is the enemy of the Monkey. "There are forces on your chart that will test your motivation and resolve."
Truth be told, I'm a little disturbed by the negative prediction but I am NOT going to let that affect me. I am thinking of Katy Perry's song "ROAR".
"I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar"
Bring on 2016! You're gonna hear me ROOOOOOOOAR-OR-OR-OR-OR!
Such cute cookies :) If my grandson is born after the next 29 days (due 2/16) he'll be born in the year of the monkey. I just hope his mom isn't a tiger, could make it interesting growing up :)

ReplyDeleteI love how the Monkey's turned out! Red is my favorite color. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm smack dab between Gemini and Cancer. My birthday is June 21. I kind of have attributes to each, but my husband says I fit into Cancer more. Some sources say I'm one, while others say I'm the other.
Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop
ReplyDeleteWe made Chinese animal masks in school last week and found out all the kids Chinese animal. I love Chinese New Year, my friend is Chinese so we always make an effort with the food and celebrations.
