| The Chinese New year is in three days time, when we shall be entering the year of the sheep, I believe. Although I have no idea what that means lol.
So I defer to our chinese and asian members. What kind of things do you do to celebrate chinese new year? and what does the sheep represent? |

| I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.
How do you celebrate it? In the west we celebrate new year by getting drunk lol. Is it any different? Do you have a special meal or anything? |

Well... in my country, they call it lucky money.

P/s: you're 25, so do you have to give "red bags" to younger?
