What you need for Chinese New Year?

Answer 1

During Chinese New Year, traditional families would put money in small, red pockets called "Lai See" and give it out to children you know, such as family members or friends.

The amount you put in depends on your own opinion or wealth. The main theme is gifts and reunion of families and friends, it's quite similar to the tooth fairy thing.

Also, it is very popular for people to hang red strips of paper with the word "福" written in black ink, which means fortune. Also, plum bossom flowers, fire crackers and spring couplets are very symbolic too, while eating Oranges and tangerines, sunflower seeds and chinese candies are part of the culture.
