I dun really buy them cos they are expensive now.
They are killing me previously.
And I need to cough for 2 weeks.
I dun need to visit any relatives cos most of them are gone.
And I dun talk to any cousins or nephews.
I don't buy any now (except arrowhead chips if didn't receive any). All are gifts from business friends. Some have to give away to in laws and my parents. Those I don't eat will 便宜 the office folks.

Anyway, most goodies are available all year round. Can buy and eat anytime.

I actually prefer CNY over Xmas and New year. Cos it's like spread out over 2 weeks, the festive mood last longer and also more time to arrange dinners/gatherings

Hate visiting those san gu liu po relatives.

ask questions as if concerned but actually just want to gossip and compare with their children only.

I’d rather stay at home and sleep the 2 days.

EDMWers seem to be on really bad terms with their relatives. But then again, some EDMWers hate just everyone else.

I look forward to CNY gathering with my relatives cos no one really ask those annoying questions. My cousins are also very nice people and we always have a good time catching up

I am glad I dun really have such annoying relatives

For me, the family reunion is the only reason the lunar new year is worth celebrating. The distant relative part not so much

maybe the distant relative part is a bigger portion for others who dread this holiday due to the way relatives show their concerns
