Excuse me??? You are married man and you expect red envelope from me. This is against the Chinese rule. I suppose to get red envelopment from you instead. lol.

Guys, tell us about the red envelopes? I'm assuming this is a tradition.

All I know is that the red envelopes = money! A Chinese New Year tradition where older family/friend members give younger members money in red packets. Other Asian countries follow the same tradition (I know South Koreans do this too.)

Jed,
Red envelope is a pocket money which married people(adult) has to give to young/unmarried person in family during new year time. You have to put money in red envelopes and distribute envelopes in the family. (sort of Christmas gift idea in Chinese)

Red envelopes are also used in other situation like wedding. For detail, please take a look in here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_envelope).

Wishing everyone a prosperous and happy New Year! Hope the year of the Ox will be a better than the last. My kids have been gorging on candy and other sweets all day (I let my two younger ones stay home from school) and yes, they got their red envelops this morning.
