What does Christmas Eve mean in the West?

Christmas Eve (65438+February 24th) is a part of Christmas in most Christian countries, but now, due to the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, it has become a worldwide festival.

Christmas Eve is traditionally a day to decorate Christmas trees, but with the celebration of Christmas starting earlier, for example, in the United States, after Thanksgiving, many Christmas trees are decorated a few weeks before Christmas.

In Christian society, on Christmas Eve, every family hangs a Christmas tree according to tradition. That night, the whole family gathered in the living room to sing Christmas songs around the Christmas tree, exchange gifts, share the joys and sorrows of life, express their inner blessings and love, and pray for happiness in the coming year.

China is a non-traditional Christian country. However, Hong Kong and Macao were influenced by Britain and Portugal respectively during the colonial period. Christmas Eve is a day that young people, children and everyone will celebrate. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people will go to East Tsim Sha Tsui to enjoy Christmas lighting and enjoy a buffet in the hotel.

Many people will exchange gifts on Christmas Eve. Young couples will go to Tsim Sha Tsui to enjoy Christmas lights and hold Christmas parties, or go to Lan Kwai Fong and other places for revelry. Christians and Catholics will attend religious gatherings such as good news.
