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? |

I'm Atheist. I go to the Buddhist temple every year, I celebrate all Chinese Lunar holidays, and I believe in a lot of Chinese superstitions.
There are tons of people just like me, who do all these things even if they aren't Buddhist. All these holidays and traditions is something Chinese people do - a tradition. It's no longer a religious thing...just like Christmas is no longer about the birth of Christ to a lot of people. |
