Every year December 25th is Christmas Day, which is one of the most important holidays in the West. It is equivalent to the traditional Chinese New Year. From Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year’s Day, it will be in the atmosphere of the New Year.

There are many interesting customs on Christmas Day:

1. Christmas card

Christmas cards are very popular in the United States and Europe, and they are also one of the ways to maintain relationships with friends and relatives in distant places. Many families bring annual family photos or family news with the greeting cards. The news generally includes the advantages and specialties of family members in the past year.

2. Christmas stockings

It used to be a pair of big red socks, regardless of size. Because Christmas stockings are used to hold gifts, they are children’s favorite things. At night, they will hang their stockings by the bed and wait for the gift the next morning.

3. Christmas hat

It is a red hat. It is said that in addition to sleeping peacefully and a little warmer when you wear it to bed at night, you will also find more gifts from a loved one in the hat the next day. It is the protagonist in the carnival night, no matter where you go, you will see all kinds of Christmas hats.

4. Bake Christmas cakes

This British tradition has spread for centuries, when people used to drink plum porridge on Christmas Eve. As time went on, people would also enjoy preserved fruits, honey and spice foods, and then Christmas cakes appeared instead of plum porridge. Christmas cakes are baked from eggs, butter, desserts, fruits, etc. Nowadays, Christmas cakes have become an indispensable part of Christmas recipes.

5. Christmas tree

In the West, a Christmas tree must be prepared regardless of whether it is Christmas or not to increase the festive atmosphere. Christmas trees are generally made of evergreen trees such as cedars and cypresses to symbolize the survival of life. The tree is decorated with various lights, colored flowers, toys, stars, and various Christmas gifts. On Christmas Eve, people sang and danced around the Christmas tree, having fun.

6. Sing Christmas Carols

This is an ancient custom: Christmas traditional songs are always echoed during Christmas. Songs bring joy to people and also add a festive atmosphere. When celebrating Christmas every year, various Christmas hymns or carols such as “The First Christmas”, “Jingle Bells”, and “Universal Jubilation” are played.

7. Distribute Christmas candy

This is the most interesting of all traditions. During the Christmas season, people distributed Christmas candies to neighbors; on Christmas Day, all misunderstandings and hatred were all resolved, and the neighbors united to celebrate the birth of Jesus. These traditions have been inherited for decades, and the excitement is increasing year by year. I believe that as time goes by, people’s enthusiasm for traditional customs will only increase.

Christmas blessings, daily hopes, may you be peaceful and full of love, may your world be full of happiness.

May the light of Christmas shine throughout your every day, and may the sunshine and flowers fill your life journey.
