It's only October, we haven't had Halloween or Bonfire Night yet... I love Christmas but don't want to think about it just now.

As far as I know, Christmas has been accepted by Chinese for only a few years. And what's more only a small group of Chinese, especially young people, would like to celebrate this western festival in our homeland.

It is not a very popular festival in China.

it seems that more and more chinese people began to celebrate christmas especially for those young people who like that kind of atmosphere on christmas. on Chrismas, friends will get together for a celebration and it is also provide a good reason for us to rejoice with wild excitement. however, for Spring Festiva, it is the time to go back home and share seven days with your parents or children whose voice may only be heard through telephones in other days of the year. in my opinion, christmas will never gain so much importance as the Spring Festival, because the latter shows us a sence of love whenever any chinese people mention it all over the world.
