not "elders" ... it's whoever's married... we're only 27 but we start giving them out this year.

EDIT>> oops NutBucket already said this.

Whats the significance of the envelope being red?

in chinese superstition (and that's really all I believe it to be), red = luck. There are so many superstitions that people follow religiously (pardon the pun) - you don't even want to hear half of them...

I count $2500... but from how many relatives (families) ?

We used to get about $400 total from 4 or 5 families. That was crazy for us.

Hey! Money from your salary doesn't count! Although they are still money, and I don't mind it without the red envelop...

Actually before I commit to becoming chinese I need to know if I will have to shorten anything.

A Chinese friend of mine would always look forward to Chinese New Year. Up here in Canada the $50 bill is red and thus a popular amount to give.
