Happy Chinese New Year!
Happy New Year!
I loved the Google doodle. 
Is it the year of the sheep or the year of the ram?
My mom was a sheep farmer for years (recently retired), and she loves all things sheep, so I made sure she saw the Google doodle.
I didn't know that!
My mom will be horrified.

Sorry Lori: I just confused the issue by deleting my post as you were replying! 
The problem is that for some reason I couldn't get my link to work...
Anyway, the point I was making is that I believe it's commonly referred to as "The Year of the Goat", but "goat", "ram" and "sheep" are pretty interchangeable - unlike Western astrology where we have Aries and Capricorn.
I used to think Chinese astrology had both a year of the Sheep and of the Goat, but a Chinese friend explained that most Chinese don't make the distinction between the two animals!
I thought I was losing my mind...
