My family always does a huge hot pot for new years eve!</p> <p>@Mamaof2: not a dumb question. NY eve is usually when your family (parents &amp; siblings) get together for a big meal. Then the first couple days of the new year you go visit relatives to wish them a happy new year.</p> <p>I actually just heard that this year is the first year NYC board of education declared kids won't be penalized for missing school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-chinese-new-years-eve#post-2075499 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 15:16:34 +0000 stiletto_mom 2075499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot Pot for us tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-chinese-new-years-eve#post-2075440 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 14:48:38 +0000 Alivoo01 2075440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sun Nee Fei Lok!! </p> <p>We're having noodles and the whole shebang! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/happy-chinese-new-years-eve#post-2075388 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 14:17:07 +0000 Mamaof2 2075388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Happy Chinese New Year!
