>>674319The new year is mainly to get-together with family and relax, damnit. It's like Chinese christmas, but with money for children and young adults instead of gift coupons for kiddies. I'll say that is superior to some commerical holdiay celebrating a zombie god's birth in a stable. You can choose not to celebrate if you like, disrepectful foor.

Chinese traditions makes sense and isn't really that strict, unlike some ridiculous stuff foreigners are put through.
