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? |

Do you celebrate chinese new years? hehe the funny thing is, thousands of years ago (yes trust me it's true), most asian countries adapted this tradition already. and they have the same Lunar Calender.. so.. yea... did that make sense to you? aaaaaaanyways.. I celebrate Chinese New Year~ And in hk.. it doesn't really matter if you go and pray to Mr. Buddha.. we just go around "gong xi" ing relatives and get money. ![]() ![]() |
