I am now a proud mother of a two-year-old girl who indicates her wish to "look pretty " by pointing at the wardrobe. I intend to carry on this fine tradition of having a fun-filled Chinese New Year. Instead of the usual "Good Morning" greeting when she wakes up, I have been saying "Gongxi Gongxi" to her in folded hands. With such intensive drill, I am confident collecting hongbaos will be a piece of cake.
