Happy Chinese New Year 2016 – THERMOFUN

Happy New Year to all of you that celebrate the Chinese New Year.  This year it is the year of the Monkey.  This means people that were born in the years of 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992 are known as quick-witted, charming, lucky, adaptable, bright, versatile, lively and smart.
