[Generosity Traditions Around the 🌎]: This week's global generosity tradition is the Red Envelope. Submitted by givingweeksg, the leaders of #GivingTuesdaySingapore, this is a common tradition throughout East and Southeast Asian cultures. 

The red envelope custom is all about the reciprocity of giving and receiving. It’s a gesture of goodwill, expressed through the exchange of red envelopes, that builds relationships among family and friends. A Chinese red envelope (known as lai see in Cantonese and hong bao in Mandarin) is simply an ornate red pocket of paper the size of an index card. They’re commonly decorated with beautiful Chinese calligraphy and symbols conveying good luck and prosperity on the recipient. Though they’re unquestionably a symbol associated with Chinese New Year, red envelopes are also given for weddings, birthdays and other special occasions.
