Guys, you should know that traditionally it's considered bad luck to give new year's greetings ahead of new year day. This is because Chinese people originally celebrated birthdays on the first day of the new year (because the concept of a calendar date was foreign to the 80% of the population that was illiterate), so giving new year's greetings ahead of time was considered akin to shortening your life.

Well, I suppose our generation don't really know or care about this, but please be courteous in your community because some elders might still stick with tradition.
