    NOTE: We also talked in the community about how the year of the horse does not start until later in the winter due to following the lunar calendar. For me/us, that coincides with my "new year" (birthday, actual, not when celebrated) as well as our "new year" from when we moved last time (which brought the celebration back to actual). That led to a greater discussion about other cultures that also follow the lunar calendar, including both indigenous and Jewish calendars (with a new year in the fall instead of winter). We talked about how sometimes “jumping calendars” can be helpful when dealing with hard days or anniversaries.
