Christmas Traditions in China

What is the most popular Christmas decoration in China?

Answer

Christians in China decorate their homes and trees with colorful paper lanterns.
Inside the lanterns they place lit candles which shine radiantly through the colored paper.

Christmas Day is not a public holiday like it is in USA, so the children go to school and the adults go to work.

Most Chinese people are Buddhists, however they are gradually beginning to adopt Christmas celebrations especially in major cities where Christmas festivities are becoming more popular year by year.

In China, Christmas trees are known as "Trees Of Light". They are decorated with paper lanterns, paper flowers, and paper chains.

Chinese children hang up stockings in the hope that *Chen-dan-lao-ren, the Chinese version of Santa Claus, will visit and leave gifts.
Merry Christmas Santa
Many of the large department stores are decorated and Christmas carols are played.

In Hong Kong, the annual Jiandong Christmas Light Festival on the 19 December, marks the beginning of the festivities of Christmas.
*With thanks to Grace Hsu for the correct translation of Santa Claus in Chinese.

My vote is to have Christmas traditions all year round. You see at Christmas time most people at least the ones I have met, always change just a little for the better around Christmas. I do not know whether or not it is the great yuletide Christmas carols, the festive atmosphere everywhere you go, or just some hidden part in all of us that screams out,
( I BELIEVE IN MORE THAN WHAT I SEE AROUND ME. )
You see, somewhere deep down inside we all believe in something better than we now have or see, and most of us feel a lot better when we help someone. Whether the person is in need or not, this feeling is what I call the feeling of Christmas, and we all should strive to feel this way all year long.

"TREAT ALL OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM TREAT YOU"
"Merry Christmas"

Enhance your Christmas, with Christmas poems and stories highlighted with your favorite Christmas carols. Christmas traditions are fast becoming a family way of life.
Poems are a simple way of inspiring others to join in on the Christmas traditions that love and poems can bring to this Christmas holiday.

Christmas Traditions of Joy,
both big and small
so precious from the start,
are moments to recall
and treasure in the heart.
