Dear Almanac readers,
To mark the birth of Scottish poet Robert Burns, annual Burns Night celebrations—which typically involve whisky, haggis, and poetry—will be held around the world tomorrow (Wednesday) evening. Or, have a fine old Scottish time with our Cock-a-Leekie Soup.
Saturday starts the Chinese New Year—also called the Lunar New Year. It's the year of the rooster! Learn more and find your zodiac sign below—as well as a new article on lucky bamboo!
Sincerely,
Your Almanac Editors
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne.
–Robert Burns (1759–96)
