Christmas day
Christmas day is on December 25, people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Some people celebrate by giving gifts. Children may be thanking Santa Claus for new toys. They may also be going to church with their families. All the people always decorate a Christmas tree and sing and dance at home on Christmas day.
In the west, if there is one holiday that is almost universal. It’s Christmas. Christmas for westerners is like spring festival for Chinese. It is a big day that all the family members will sit together and have a nice meal. Some people are going to celebrate it in one of their friends' family. There is a traditional Christmas game called "secrets anta "which is good to families and friends. Everyone needs to buy a gift, write his or her name on a small card and put all the cards in a box, take out a card one by one and give his or her gift to the person whose name is on the card, give him or her a big hug and say merry Christmas, have fun!
In this day, children are the happiest. On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready. The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. the greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents. Later that night, father or mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed. On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o’clock and most of them are awake by six o'clock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year. liuxuepaper.com
In china, On Christmas Eve in Beijing, more than 15-hundred people packed into the 407-year old Church of the Immaculate Conception in Beijing to celebrate midnight mass - while many more stood outside watching services on two big TV monitors. It is not exaggerated to say that Christmas has become a popular festival in China.
However, some people argue that Christmas is overshadowing traditional festivals like the Spring Festival and it signals the destructive process of westernization among the Chinese and thus it should be condemned. However, I take a more optimistic stand on this phenomenon as it signifies China's opening up to the world and its preparation for appreciate other cultures.
Moreover, we have our distinctive way of celebrating Christmas. Instead of going to the church like the Americans, we regard Christmas as an opportune time to shop and to enjoy ourselves, as many shopping centers offer discounts to attract customers in Christmas season. As such, our values are not deeply altered by our celebration of Christmas.
Today is Christmas Eve; it’s time for me to say “Happy Christmas”. liuxuepaper.com
