Tomorrow's New Year's day on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, so Happy Lunar New Year to all Chinese, Asians, and every other Psypokian ^_^
Anyway, this year is the year of the Dog in the Chinese Zodiac.
There's a long story behind the festival, which I'm not keen on explaining, so here's where the trusty wikipedia comes in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year
恭喜发财 everyone (when directly translated, it means "congratulations and be prosperous")

Why am I going off topic
I used Google to type out Chinese characters, but I am not so sure whether the others are copying my sig.

Wikipedia wrote: New Year's day is also celebrated within the family. Usually family members gather on the morning of New Year's Day. It is at this gathering that red envelopes are given by senior members of the family, usually married, to unmarried junior members of the family.
I'm not married ;P
