No, we do the Lunar New Year thing here. The Year of the Ox [element  
is Earth] begins January 26th. Based on previous experience, I suspect  
there will be a certain amount of Chinese food prepared and eaten.

There was a nice article in the New York Times a week or so ago,  
wherein it was claimed that nobody is buying the unusually large catch  
of East coast lobsters this fall/winter, and the prices are  
plummeting...

Hmmm...
