Giving red envelopes is a tradition for Chinese families during the Lunar New Year and is considered a gift as well as a seasonal greeting. A red envelope for a child may come from parents and grandparents, other family members and relatives, and friends of parents. When the child grows up and has an income, he or she may give red envelopes to parents and grandparents, and children of siblings and friends.
