Christmas in America is really like a carnival. Although Christmas was originally a religious festival, it has evolved into a festival of national reunion after hundreds of years. Religious or not, this day will be a carnival.

I. Church Mass on Christmas Eve

Want to get peace and feel foreign culture? Want to party with Americans all night? Want to spend an unforgettable quiet night? The church on Christmas Eve is a place you can't ignore. The climax of Christmas Eve is the mass held in the Christian church on Christmas Eve. Mass on Christmas eve is generally divided into two times, one at 9 ~ 10 in the evening; The other is midnight mass. What is quality? In fact, "Christmas" is the abbreviation of "Christian Mass". Mass is a liturgy of the church. Christians celebrate it as the birthday of Jesus. On this day, all Christian churches will hold special services.

Second, Christmas carols

For example, in China, people will go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Day. In America, good news is another tradition of Christmas. Christmas songs convey good wishes and Christmas spirit to people's lives. As night fell, the church choir sang Christmas carols in unison from door to door. Obviously, this activity is also related to religion, which is very different from New Year's greetings. The host usually invites the choir to have tea and laugh at home, and then the choir sings at other homes. Many hosts are willing to follow, and the chorus will become bigger and bigger. What's more, on the campus on Christmas Eve, three or five friends go out together and sing in the street. Every year from June 5438 to February, the campus choir usually performs in the school auditorium.

Third, the Christmas party

Parties are indispensable in American life, especially at Christmas. All kinds of parties are colorful and overwhelming. At USC, every college will hold a Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve.

Here you can fully feel the American enthusiasm and unique melting pot culture.
