  1. 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.

  9. 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.

  39. 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.

  42. 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!❤️😘
