What does giving apples on Christmas Eve represent?

The custom of Christmas Eve gradually spread to China, and the day before Christmas is called Christmas Eve. Before Christmas Eve, a gift called "peace fruit" began to be quietly passed from hand to hand.
It is understood that the "Peace Apple" is made of imported apples with bright colors and good looks. It is said that the "Peace Apple" symbolizes peace and peace. The reason why "apple" is chosen as the first choice for the "Peace Apple" is because of the pronunciation of the word "apple".
Giving apples on Christmas Eve is actually not a custom in Western countries. This is mainly a Chinese custom.
The reason why people give each other apples on Christmas Eve is that Chinese people pay more attention to homophony. For example, on the wedding night, people throw red dates, peanuts, cinnamon seeds, melon seeds and other things on the bed, which means "give birth to a son soon." The “平” in “苹果” (apple) has the same pronunciation as the “平” (peace), so the Chinese people attach the auspicious meaning of “平安” to apples, and thus the new custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve was created.
Therefore, giving peace apples to friends on Christmas Eve means that you hope your friends will be safe and happy.

When should we eat the peace fruit?

Generally speaking, you need to make a wish at midnight, then eat the apple, and your wish will come true.
If you receive a Christmas apple on Christmas Eve, it is recommended that you eat the apple on Christmas Eve, which is the 24th.
Apples given on Christmas Eve are called "peace apples", mainly because the Chinese characters "ping" and "ping" are homophones. Since some time ago, creative young people began to call apples "peace apples", and the celebration method of eating "peace apples" on Christmas Eve and making wishes for the coming year has also become popular among young people.
