    Happy Year of the Dragon to all who celebrate it. May it hold great happiness. I was going to add may there be peace in the world, but that’s a forlorn hope so there is no point.

    Happy Year of the Dragon!

    Love all the red and the dragons in these photos. It was fun to learn more about Dragons and the year of the dragon (plus it helped me find a book for my book challenge since we had to read a book published in any year of the dragon and I had not yet gotten around to googling the various years). So thank you for that.

    I was born on February 5, 1952, so also in the year of the dragon, some things are really true for me as described.

    This makes it easy to remember year of the dragon for this century. They'll always fall on years that are a multiple of 12. (2000, 2012, 2024, 2036, 2048...)

    Wow, look at all those decorations at the mall! So festive, and it looks like it took a lot of time creating it all. I always enjoy seeing my year and reading about it when I visit my favorite restaurant. I like how you got some photos at angle and even from above, very cool.

    Have a lovely weekend, my friend.

    Happy New year to you, Veronica Lee, and what a magnificent display of the dragon at that mall.I can imagine it took quite awhile to set it up and wondered if it will remain in place for a while.

    Happy New Year! I love the festive decorations at the mall. And thank you for letting me know I was born in a Year of the Dragon. Good to know, although here I'm a pretty good example of the fact that personalities (as you say) may vary from the general characteristics.

    You know, I always was curious, how these ideas started in China. I did not read enough to really understand... I love the photos and I may say I like some dragons from stories. Thank you, Veronica for these ideas. The listed facts must be something usual for people, from my perspective, not only related to this year.
    Happy WW, dear Veronica!
    Hugs and blessings!❤️😘
