Visit your Arab friends today. They will surely give you at least a little bit....at the very least, you'll get some good food :cool:

I'm on the other end of that train now. I have to give red envelopes to the kids in the family (and I'm a white guy ;) ).

It is a nice tradition though. It is one of the chinese customs that I really liked when my wife introduced me to it.

You get a quarter on special occasions I think and it's bad luck if you don't spend it.

Unless stupid people put change in there. It happened at a Lion Dance Show I was at yesterday.

Thats why he kept dropping them :D

I have to pay out. Nephew and nieces are expensive.

You should encourage them to save the money for when they have to start paying out :)

Become Chinese. Then the government will send you a red envelope. They do it for all 2 billion of us

Happy New Year! :)

Only the married give out envelopes to the kids. I believe you are married. I'll be waiting for yours. :D

Chinese New Year in here sucks, it doesn't quite have the atmosphere that we have in China. (no lion dance, no firecracker). Worst thing is, my relatives are all in China. :(
