More about Chinese New Year: It is the most important holiday of the year for Chinese, like Christmas in the West. The weeklong holiday starts on New Year's Eve (Feb. 6 for this year) when families gather for a feast, watch the China Central Television New Year's gala broadcast, then set off rounds of firecrackers at midnight. The upcoming year is also called 'mouse year' in Chinese Lunar calendar.

Hi all

Happy Chinese New Year! Happy 'Year of the Rat'!
I like the 'cash wrapped in the red paper' (but, now, I'm the sender, not the receiver any longer. Usually, parents give the money to their children in the New Year's Eve.)

Wish you all a very good new year!!

Don't worry about it; it's no biggie. I was rushing with the post, so now I can't remember what I wrote.
