May the New Year bring many good things to you.
2020 is the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese zodiac.
Each of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs is related to a characteristic animal.
The rat has been seen as a symbol of wisdom, wealth and prosperity because they multiply rapidly and have been thought to be a messenger of Daikokuten (god of wealth).
