When December comes, Christmas followed.In this month, the red and gree decorated everywhere you can see. The songs of " Jingle bell" and "We wish you a merry christmas"
are never failed in Taiwan. If you are a christian, you must familiar with "Silent night, holy night" and "Joy to the world". 
The candy cane, christmas socks, bells and christmas trees are sold in stores. The children are waiting for Santa Claus and his reindeer in dreams. The parents are shopping for presents and pretend as Santa.
Everyone seems looking forward and busy with this holiday.
But while some say christmas is a joyful day, some say that is just a commercialized holiday.
We usually celebrate with family, friends or lovers to have a good meal (maybe with turkey) and share happy moment. Like other holidays, christmas is always a hustle and bustle, then some people may feel lonely in this situation if they can't have fun with others. There's a clip that describe christmas for them is meaningless but another lonely working day. After all the celebrations are over, everything would as same as before like nothing happened. This arrangement is called " Xmas I don't know such a thing".
Although there are some negative comments, christmas still one of my favorite
holiday through whole year. I not only like the joyful atmosphere and pleasing
presents but also was thankful on this specail day for two reasons.
First of them, christmas for me is a day full of love because of Christ, and this day
reminds me to memorize his love for human beings.
Second, christmas is almost at the end of whole year, so I used to look back of past
to see what I've fufilled and how many lovely people in my life.
For me, I think love and appreciation are the meaning of christmas.
For children, christmas means gifts and tale of Santa Claus.
For college students, christmas means parties and fun.
For christian, christmas means salvation.
For parents, christmas means losing money.
For workers, christmas means another busy working day.
In this holiday, what does christmas mean for you?
Christmas is my favorite holiday,too.I remembered when I was in junior high school,I used to write many christmas cards to my friends.I think the most important thing is not whether you get many gifts or not,having a dinner with your family or friends on Christmas day is all that matters!!
回覆刪除I love Christmas!!!
回覆刪除Your description of the common phenomenon in Taiwan that people celebrate the holiday with the old song "Jingle bell" and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" is very vivid and true. Of course, also the decorations we put on the Christmas tree, sometimes with a shining, big star on the top.
That's how a typical Christmas is all about!!!
I love Christmas!
回覆刪除I love exchange presents!
I love Santa Claus!
(sometimes I "am" the Santa! lol)
The atmosphere of Christmas is really great!
I can enjoy the chilly weather and also enjoy the happiness of receiving gifts! :)
Here is the forth one who says she loves Christmas, too!!!!!!!!!
回覆刪除I don't know why, but every Christmas when I see people get reunion, have party, or go to church, I feel warm in my heart.
Maybe because I feel LOVE is spreading among people on Christmas and that's why everybody loves celebrating Christmas!
This reminds me of what I learned in Cultural Study Class. The teacher said that Christmas was globalized by Coca Cola. Because the advertisement Coca cola used to show was a Santa enjoying a coke. Then, the propaganda becomes popular all over the world. The enterprise and globalization just turns Christmas(a serious day actually) into a holiday. This really shocks me at that time. Well, I still love Christmas. Everything around Christmas is so cheerful and pleasant. I love that atmosphere.
