1.22 million (75%) of users voted for "from Dec 30 to Jan 2", 31,995 (19.6%) users voted for "from Jan 1 to Jan 3" and 8,734 (5.4%) users voted for "it doesnt' matter."
Sina Weibo user Catfox in boots: The Spring Festival is not a spring festival without New Year's Eve.
Sina Weibo user shellyShanshan: I wish the holiday lasted all the way until Jan 15.
Sina Weibo user Shoujindenghuayouyixiao1971: I support not including New Year's Eve as part of the holiday. That way, we could actually get an extra day off.
Sina Weibo user CokeloverXiaoshu: I support from Jan 1 to Jan 3. Any companies that care about its employees would give at least a half day off on New Year's Eve.
