Thanks barelyy_coherent. You helped me out the most. I'm agnostic/atheist and all, so I don't really have a religion...Basically, I have no knowledge in this burning money bringing them food thing, so thanks a whole bunch!

Haha, no problem. I'm not a die-hard Chinese for nothing =)

And a thing about the Lunar ghost festival thing...it's called the Hungry Ghost Festival and the internet seems to like the date "7th month 15th day". I always thought it was the 14th day. I've heard that from my family and relatives...but I dunno. You should probably believe the internet, at least from the reliable sites =)

Here's a great big list of Chinese Festivals (in a nicely chronological order too), see if anything catches your fancy.

And another something about the Hungry Ghost Festival:
