I like the version kids use: gōng xǐ fā cái, hóng bāo ná lái roughly translated as "Congratulations and be prosperous, now give me a red envelope!" And Hong Kong kids go even farther: fifty cents is too little, don't want a dollar either.

Yeah, reminded me of "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" :)
