I am just staying home. Might go to some festival, but not really sure if I want to go. Sucks I get no money this year.

So what's the tradition for Chinese New Year and money? Is there normally cash or other gifts given by parents/relatives to children?

Do all "Asians" celebrate the New Year the same way at the same time of year?

Do you mean Chinese?
