What are the taboos and do's and don'ts at Christmas?

Christmas related matters do's and don'ts -
《1》 Do:

——Bring gifts: Remember to bring gifts to the party. Just like when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, you need to prepare gifts to show your appreciation when visiting a foreigner's home. The gift doesn't need to be too expensive, a bottle of wine will do. If you have children at home, it is also appropriate to prepare gifts for them. It is best to choose red or green gift wrapping paper to highlight the festive atmosphere of Christmas.
——Reply to the invitation promptly: If your foreign friends send you a party invitation and it clearly states that you should reply, then you must remember to reply promptly and before the latest reply date specified. If you want to bring friends along, be sure to get the host's permission in advance.
——Be punctual for parties: When attending parties abroad, you must be punctual. It is impolite to be late for a party, but it is also inappropriate to arrive too early, because the host may still be busy decorating the room and preparing food, and your arrival will make the host feel embarrassed or even flustered because they are not ready. Therefore, arriving on time is basic etiquette for attending a party.
《2》Avoid:
- Avoid eating food with blood: If you eat with Christians, you must wait until the Christians finish praying before you pick up your cutlery to eat.
——Christians stipulate that they can only eat vegetarian food and no other meat on every Friday and December 24th. Catholics only eat one meal on Good Friday and the day before Christmas.
——When giving gifts to Christians, avoid giving gifts with images of gods from other religions or totems worshipped by other ethnic groups.

Christmas food and drinking taboos

Dietary precautions - less frying when cooking <br /> Non-stick pans are preferred for cooking because they can reduce the amount of cooking oil. Avoid frying or pan-frying. Instead, bake or steam. This will reduce the amount of oil that is taken into the stomach. Use less sauces and seasonings. Use spices instead. For egg-based foods, use two egg whites instead of a whole egg. Remove the skin from meat before cooking because the skin usually contains more fat.
——Finally, remember not to prepare more than you need, otherwise you will end up eating it all because of the hard work of cooking!
Drinking Notes - Moderate <br /> Every healthy adult has a fairly good ability to digest and break down alcohol, because the intestinal bacteria of the human body can release more than 30mL of pure alcohol per day under normal circumstances.
——Even people who do not drink alcohol will unknowingly drink natural alcohol every day, which is equivalent to 250mL of wine or 750mL of beer. If people are not born with the ability to break down this alcohol, they will be drunk every day.
