HAPPY (lunar) NEW YEAR.

I think it's either this weekend or the weekend after. But have you got any plans?

I will go and hot pot, and then get lots of cash. :) I love Lunar New Year. That's the ONLY time my family is all together.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR. I JUST HAD TO TYPE THIS POST IN RED BECAUSE IT'S FOR LUNAR NEW YEAR.

So, every year, the night before new year's, my family gets together and has a big dinner. Then we have another one the next night. I'm going to this fair on Saturday and Sunday and going to a couple of relative's house. Oh, and I'm getting moola. whistling.gif

Oh yea. I forgot about the money.

Well since my relatives are in sunny CA while I am here in cold NJ, I don't get money from them on the new year. I either get it when I go visit them in the summer or they mail it.

My parents don't give me money because I can always ask them.

Yeah on the 16th, I'm going to have relatives dinner. But I don't think I'm going to get red packets that soon.

All I know is it's going to be festive and lots of red stuff, like red candies, red packets, red clothings, red food, etc.

I'm going to be showing off my Chinese pride!!
(actually, all my cousins are more 'Chinese' than I am..)

Omg I'm excited because of all the red packets I'm going to be getting _smile.gif dance.gif

^ Maybe because you aren't Asian?

The Lunar New Year is also known as Chinese New Year. Most Americans don't really celebrate that.

Yeah, I like Lunar New Year for the same reasons Ann does. I like being with my family for dinner and getting hung bao (red envelopes).

In my family, only the ones that faithfully believe that elders should give children red envelopes, get them.

With money from relatives, only the boys get the red envelopes. My grandfather is the only one outside of the family who gives red envelopes to us and he only likes boys, not girls. So I don't get any and my little brother does.

That's pretty cool. I'd love for that to happen to me, but for now I get the same amount as my brother (he's almost 11, I'm 16).

Countdown to the new year: three days! thumbsup.gif

Woo! New Year is almost here. _smile.gif I can't wait. Plus, I get to hang out with all of my family members. (I can only hang with them on holidays). I'm sure it'll be a blast. thumbsup.gif
