  CNY is a traditional Chinese custom to welcome the spring and the new year if you look at it from this aspect
  
  i wonder who so eng to look at it from religious point of view
  
  

  Actually got... normally from English helicopter crowd. Will question whether anhy practice will violate Christian beliefs. Yup, lame....
  
  My church quite traditional one.... got tui lian at the door, church deco in typical CNY style. Got Ang Pow also - no money lah, just a verse from the Bible.
  
  I am probably giving the first day service a miss.... too early... plus - traditionally, it's always to my parent's place first.

  I'm attending church as normal. Serving in the gift shop ministry as normal. After service ends and everyone leaves, then I'll go for my visitation (if any)

  I wonder if being more Christian makes one less Chinese...

  I see a lot of such people around.Not only is it lame, but it is going against the precept of honoring your parents, and by extension, your elders.
  
  
  
  Talk about hypocrisy on the part of these Clorox-induced fools....

  Happy New Year. Many good returns.
