Yay! And to you!

Thank you! And happy Burns Night, I might add...

Yeah!

*celebrates*

It's my year baby! :D

Your year? Then go forth and do great things - it's the start of a new cycle, and whatever you do will have a great influence on the next 12 years...

(you're obviously in a good place right now, so I don't feel bad about telling you this!)

Gong he xin xi !

恭喜发财！牛年好！

[shui-long.livejournal.com]

I couldn't work out how to do that...

Anyway, 謝謝

I believe the proper response is 紅包拿来 !

(which takes me well beyond my limited knowledge of Chinese)

What a fantastic New Year's gift! I didn't even know you could do that!

I wasn't expecting any lucky money this year (too old), so I'm really chuffed!

Happy new year to you too!

And a very happy Burns Night to you!

Happy new year!

We went to the celebration organised by the Chinese Welfare Association here; it was really nice how they shared the occasion with the whole community.

It's great when you get that kind of celebration - most of my Chinese connections are only recently arrived and dreadfully homesick, so sharing the New Year happiness is often the last thing on their minds...
