No one really celebrates Christmas here. The extent of it is going out to dinner. The biggest holiday in Asia is for sure Chinese New Year. So a quick intro on the celebration practices during CNY.
Families all get together and have a huge dinner. Or several as it's a three day holiday. Married people hand out red envelopes to those non-married (usually younger). Red envelopes are filled with cash. One bill per envelope. Several envelopes per person. A nice little system don't you think?
Seeing as I work with 3 people, all of which are foreigners, I got zero red envelopes despite my non-married status. Paul, however, works at a kindergarten and got loads of envelopes. Check out the take!
