Pick you celebration ... and have fun with it.

Years ago someone told me this phrase actually means, "Happy New Year, now give me the red envelope!" (Traditionally children are given money at New Year's in a red envelope.)

Any truth to that?
HaHa, that's right. No one actually say it but kids, I can remember I used to say it when I was a kid, before or after I got the red envelope, both ways are ok since people who give kids envelopes must be family members. Funny thing to say is I had to prepare many different words other than “gong xi fa cai" to say to different members otherwise, say, grandfather or some wouldn't give me the envelope till I speak another new word.

Wow, that's cool, you know this year is a "snake year" in Chinese tradition.
I'd known someone from UCB who come to China to seek opportunity to start his own business, and I found him really understand many things about Chinese and our life, like TV shows, Chinese-made movies, pop songs...
