Happy Year of the Rabbit, or Cat, depending on where you are

On most Chinese Zodiac signs, this year is the Year of the Rabbit. But, if you're in Vietnam, or you're Gurung (ethnic group in Nepal) it's the Year of the Cat
Remember to avoid brown, yellow, and white. And this year the Heavenly Branch/Element is water. And your season is spring.

Happy New Year!
