Giving of Ang Pao or red envelopes in Chinese is a tradition where Chinese people give gifts to their relatives on Chinese New Year. The tradition is that only married couples give to younger siblings or relatives. The red ang paos usually have a bill inside. It doesn’t matter how much. It could be from 1 dollar to whatever-you-can afford amount. We are not Chinese but my kids receive ang paos on Chinese New Year because I have Chinese in-laws and Chinese friends. So with this new tradition I have learned, everytime I see a site that says redenvlope.com, one thing that comes to mind is the ang pao that is given on Chinese New Year. Can’t help it. =><=
