There is a saying: "Children, don't be greedy. Before Christmas is peace, safe fruit, eat for a day, welcome Christmas happily, eat eggs and go to heaven to see! "
In addition, eating eggs at Christmas is also a traditional custom introduced from the west. Legend has it that on Christmas Day, Santa Claus will send boiled eggs to every household, while Santa Claus in Gaoyou, south of the Yangtze River will send red duck eggs to believers. There has always been a traditional saying in the local area that "on Christmas Eve, eat apples, sparrows and mice have nowhere to hide, on Christmas Day, eat duck eggs and do farm work vigorously in the coming year".
