And a happy Year of the Snake to you!

Snakes are gracious and wise, though they tend not to share their wisdom out of reservation.
They can also be intensely passionate, well-mannered but prone to jealousy or suspicion.
Their perception and empathy make them prized friends.

For those wondering, the japanese decorations are because my Dad's Japanese-Canadian.

So it's more like "Non-Denominational" New Year. Or something like that.

P.S. Check out my Mom's lovely Kokeshi collection.
