Technically the first day of Chinese New Year was on Tuesday (Feb 5), but since it's a 15-day celebration, I figure this post is falling within the window. While we're more used to Zodiac signs based on the constellations and your birth month, Chinese Zodiac signs are based on your birth year. The Zodiac sign for 2019 is the Pig. Coincidentally, this is also the sign for people born in 1983 (Melissa and Courtney). I looked it up and people born under the sign of the pig are supposed to be happy, easygoing, honest, trusting, educated, sincere, and brave. However they can also be stubborn, self-indulgent, materialistic, and lazy. That last item absolutely does not apply to Melissa or Courtney (they're always busy), but I tend to agree with the positive traits.
Even the LEGO groupies are getting into the celebration by inventing a Pig model you can build from LEGO bricks. Though as with most LEGO models, I think you need to have a good imagination to see it.
