About Chinese New Year...

So what is the best thing about the worst thing about Chinese New Year?
Yes, the best thing is Hong Bao... Where we all get money for no reason...
And yes, the worst thing is also Hong Bao... Where parents need to give money for no reason...

But why do Chinese give Hong Bao on Chinese New Year, yet Ang Mo dun give them on Christmas?
I feel bad for those Ang Mo, no money for the holiday.
Every year people hope for lot and lot of Hong Bao, some even become super hardworking because of it. They are willing to travel all round the place to visit relative and friend just for the Hong Bao.
Well their income for 15 days can earn up to $700, easy money.
For me, I never hope for too much Hong Bao. All I wanted is 1 Hong Bao that has $700 in it, that is what I call easy money. Until I open it and see the money in Rupee... That is sad, well never happen before.

It is said that, First few Hong Bao is call press sleep money... I dunno the han yu pin yin...
It means that you need to put is under your pillow and sleep on it. It is to hope you will have good health and good fortune... I think. I put in under my pillow every year... sometime for months, not that I forgot about it... Just that I don't need the money.

I don't about you but many kids like to open their Hong Bao the moment they get it. To me that is rude, until once got a kid complain about how little the money is in front of the person... OMG sia.... Cannot believe it.
