Is Christmas the Spring Festival in foreign countries? How do different countries celebrate Christmas?
Christmas is a religious holiday, a Christian festival commemorating the birth of Jesus. Want to know more about Christmas? Although there are no long holidays in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, November is here, so is the New Year far away? This winter, Mr. Shui Mo will accompany you in looking forward to the New Year and explain to you the good and bad luck every day in November of the lunar calendar in 2021.Is Christmas the Spring Festival in foreign countries?Christmas in foreign countries is equivalent to the Chinese New Year, and Christmas Eve is New Year's Eve.The reason for saying this is that most Western countries believe in Christianity, so Christmas, which commemorates the birth of Christ, is the most important holiday for them, which is equivalent to the importance our country attaches to the Spring Festival. In addition, during Christmas, Christian European and American countries will have a long holiday (usually 7 to 10 days), which is very similar to our Spring Festival holiday, so there is a saying that "Christmas is the Spring Festival in European and American countries." How do different countries celebrate Christmas?1. NorwayBefore going to bed on Christmas Eve, each Norwegian family member lines up his or her own pair of shoes from largest to smallest, and then each person takes turns singing his or her favorite Christmas song or hymn. 2. Sweden Swedes are very hospitable, and this is especially evident at Christmas, when every family, rich or poor, welcomes friends and even strangers, and all kinds of food are placed on the table for anyone to eat. 3. Germany Every Christian family in Germany has a Christmas tree. The Christmas tree first appeared in Germany. Germans are very particular about making Christmas cookies. There are many types of cakes, and they are given as gifts between relatives and friends. 4. France In France, adults usually go to church to attend midnight mass on Christmas Eve, and then go to the home of the oldest married brother or sister with their family for dinner. This gathering is for discussing important family matters, and if there is any discord among family members, all grudges will be resolved and everyone will be back to normal, so Christmas is a day of kindness in France. 5. Ireland On Christmas Eve, every family in Ireland puts a candle or lamp on the window frame to welcome the birth of the Savior. 6. Scotland The Scots search their homes for things borrowed from others and must return them to the owners before Christmas. They usually gave gifts on the first Monday of the new year, not at Christmas, and children and servants received gifts. 7. Wales The Welsh pay the most attention to food at Christmas, and the food includes roast pig, turkey, Christmas pudding, Christmas mince pie and so on. Every family member received a present, including the servants, and all the presents were delivered on Christmas morning. Some Christmas carolers go door to door singing and spreading the good news. They will be invited into the house by the hosts, treated with tea and snacks, or given small gifts. 8. Spain Children in Spain place shoes outside doors or windows to receive Christmas presents. In many cities there are gifts for the most beautiful children. Cows are also treated well on that day. It is said that when Jesus was born, a cow breathed on him to keep him warm. 9. Italy Every Italian family has a model scene of the story of Jesus' birth. On Christmas Eve, families gather together for a big dinner and attend Christmas Mass at midnight. After that, they go to visit relatives and friends, and only children and the elderly receive gifts. At Christmas, Italians have a good custom for children to write essays or poems to express their gratitude to their parents for the education they have given them during the year. Before Christmas dinner, their works were hidden in napkins, under plates or on tablecloths, and their parents pretended not to see them. After they had finished their meal, they took it back and read it to everyone. Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
