I'd tell her to bring sushi, and then act all confused when people ask her why. Or money in red envelopes. Or a giant cardboard number 4. That's bad luck, right?

i would tell them that it's the lunar new year and last she checked the moon shone over countries other than china and people other than communists. so bring the champagne and if they complain, tell them to take the high-fiving ceramic cat out of their butts.

I just don't get the why everyone insists on renaming it lunar new year. if your not Chinese then simply name give it it's proper name 'asian country' New Year. ie Vietnamese New year, Korean New Year. Most of the asian calendars were based off of the lunisolar Chinese calendar anyways so what's the big deal.

Probably cuz people don't want other to say "Asians are all Chinese, that's why they celebrate the Chinese New Year!" I don't see the problem with calling it Lunar New Year because it can apply to different cultures, without having to name every single one.

But then again, some people think Chinese give Asians a bad name. If people from Hong Kong and Taiwan have a right to say "Hey, we're not Chinese!".I don't see the problem with calling it Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year (assuming their Chinese of course).

Some people don't like being called Asian. Some people don't like being called Oriental. Some people don't like being mistaken as a Chinese. Just people with different views and opinions.

And to Laura, why didn't u just ask the guy you were dating what would be good to bring? I don't see the problem with bringing champagne, cuz you know the real party starts when Chinese are hustling and gambling and smoking and drinking...so alcohol is always appreciated.

I don't see the problem with Lunar New Year. It isn't only Asian countries that celebrate it. White people druids/wiccans celebrate things by the lunar calendar too!

Curse your stripping out of html tags. That was supposed to be crossed out up there.

My very Jewish officemates looked at me blankly when I asked for "Lunar New Year" off ... then I said, "Chinese New Year" and they all went "Ah!"

It's the same difference between wishing someone a Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays.
