Chinese New Year Old Tradition--Return to the in-laws

E-mailPrintShareSingle Page

On the second day of Chinese New Year, each family goes to visit the wife's family. Chinese New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day is spent at the family of the husband's family. Each family spends many hours preparing food for the visit and a huge feast is always the result. The visiting families bring fruits, alcohol, and cigarettes to their in-laws. The children of the family are given Hongbao (Red Envelopes), which are filled with money. It is a wonderful time for relatives to get together and since almost every Chinese person returns home for the Chinese New Year, it is a great chance to meet with family members who might live in different parts of China and are rarely seen.
