For example, on the wedding night, peanuts, red dates and lotus seeds are placed under the quilt, which means "giving birth to a son soon". The “ping” in “apple” has the same pronunciation as the “ping” in “peace”, so the Chinese people attach the auspicious meaning of “peace” to apple. So there was a custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve.Giving an apple represents the sender’s blessing to the receiver for a safe and peaceful new year. Since the apples received on Christmas Eve have to be eaten, some people joke: If you like someone, give him/her an apple; if you hate someone, let many people give him/her many apples. In addition, there is also a saying that using 24 cents to buy an apple for someone you like means expressing your love.

We also give gifts to people we like, or send peace apples to relatives and friends as blessings to express the beautiful friendship between friends. So, when we name our children, we can give them nicknames such as "An An", "Pan Pan", "Mei Mei" and so on. 2. The day before Christmas is Christmas Eve, so we can also give our children nicknames based on the origin of Christmas Eve. Legend has it that Christmas Eve is the night when God Jesus was born.
