Greetings, Chattanooga!
Tomorrow begins the Chinese New Year, ushering in the Year of the Rat. Other rat years include 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996 and 2008. Were you born in one of these years? If so, don’t be discouraged by your zodiac animal. In China, the rat symbolizes wealth and surplus, and is revered because of its reproduction rate.
Here’s everything else you need to know about the holiday.
