Im a full-blood Chinese , and looking back my new year time I can tell you. Chinese New Year is not in the day every year cuz Chinese traditional festivals are at their own calendar.. Even I could not the how the calendar of china calculate the dates,it changes every year from vulgate canlendar..
And during the Chinese new year. People stick together and have meal together ,at home or restaurant. And play , more I see is my parents and relatives play Mahjong.. As for kids like me , we can get money with a red oblong bag from relatives but not every relatives , some people are just ungenerous. And whole day I can play as long as I can hold on, most of Chinese parents would not care that during the new year days. That's all.
