Difference in Christmas/Easter and Chinese New Year

My family celebrates Chinese New Year in a different way from how Jess and his family celebrated Chirstmas and Easter. People who are not married in my family receive red packets during Chinese New Year while Jess and his family receive presents from others.
My family goes to a temple in Toa Payoh to pray to our ancestors while Jess goes to church on Christmas.
Christmas and Easter are a one day celebration while Chinese New Year last fifteen days.
However, all three celebrations, Chinese New Year, Christmas and Easter are meant for families and relatives to catch up with one another. It helps us understand each other better.
