新年快乐 !

its a chinese tradition . i just got 120 more dollars last hour.

 

Yep. Red Packets are given to you by people of 'higher rank' (i.e. generations above you, elder siblings, etc.). You can only receive them if you're unmarried, and you should give them out if you're married xD

 

JUST GOT 500 MORE BUCKS FROM MY MOM!!!!!!!!!!

 

wtf, Thats unbelivable!
so much money!

 

I'm not sure I understand...
how are you getting money?

 

I don't understand why their supposed to get money.
But its from chinese new year I think

 

It's just a cultural thing. Parents/relatives give children money for Chinese New Year.

Why do Americans eat turkey at Thanksgiving? It's dry and tasteless without a ton of sauce/seasonings. Why do people give/get presents at Christmas and Valentine's Day? Why do the French eat King's Cake for Mardi Gras?

 

Wow, you guys are lucky. I got $20. Some years I dont even get anything.

 

lol, I've never gotten anything.
But I'm not chinese so It does matter

 

well i'm chinese. and lots of my mom and dads friends came back from china. that means more $$$ for me!!! but ....today is the last day of effortless money making for me . i got 100 dollars today.

in total, i got.....1200$

 

Planning to spend it on anything? B)

 

my moms planning on spending my $$$.

but before she can, i wanna buy a new netbook and a itouch.
