THE TRADITION OF GIVING ANG PAO





Giving angpao is mostly done in the well-to-do families. Employers will give angpao to employees. Parents will give angpao to their sons and daughters. When the children get a job, or get married, they will give angpao to their parents.

The well-to-do parents then will give back an equal amount of money or more than that to their children. This money must be from the parents' purse not the same banknotes received from their children. Brothers or sisters-in-law should give angpao to younger brothers or sisters of their husband's or wife's. Aunts and uncles will give angpao to their nieces and nephews as well.
