Ok, so Chinese New years is coming up SOON. I'm not sure when.
( maybe this should be in debate column? ) So, it's called CHINESE new years... so why do chinese people in general celebrate it? I mean, some of you probably don't, but yeah. But I know a lot of asian people celebrate it. And some of them are vietnamese. But if it's called CHINESE new years, shouldn't it be for chinese people? And yeah, on chinese new years don't u like, get red envelopes, eat smelly food, pray, and then burn fake money? (that's what we do) But don't you like, pray to Buddha? I know some people who are Catholic and celebrate Chinese New years... Do you celebrate chinese new years? |

QUOTE(uninspiredfae @ Dec 30 2004, 10:55 AM) Exactly what Just_Dream said. Other Asians call it Chinese New Years because it's a convenience like saying Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays, but that doesn't mean that the lunar new year is reserved just for Chinese people. I thought everyone knew that.  uninspiredfae is right. i celebrate chinese new year and we pray to our ancestors not just buddha. people who arent buddhist still pray, not necessarily to buddha but to their ancestors for luck for the family for the new year. |
