Sending apples on Christmas Eve means wishing each other peace and security. Apple, the homonym of apple, means the fruit of peace. Young people began to call apples "safe fruits", and the celebration of eating "safe fruits" and making wishes on "Christmas Eve" became popular among young people. As long as someone sends the fruits of peace, they can also give them to each other on Christmas Eve.

Christmas, a western holiday, has been "China-oriented" to a great extent since it was introduced to China. Young people who like to publicize their individuality and exchange entertainment no longer delve into the religious background and traditional significance of Christmas, but use the festive atmosphere of the festival to express their wishes for the future in their own unique way and eat the fruits of peace.

Extended data:

Christmas Eve is Christmas Eve, Christmas Day is 65438+February 25th, and Christmas Eve is the night of 65438+February 24th. Sending apples to Christmas Eve is precisely because the "apple" of apples is homophonic with the "ping" of peace.

People in China pay more attention to homophones, such as putting peanuts, red dates and lotus seeds under the quilt on their wedding night, which means "early (jujube) gives birth to a precious child". Apple's "Ping" and its homonym are the auspicious meaning of Apple's "Ping" in China. So there is a custom of sending apples on Christmas Eve. Those who send apples on behalf of others wish those who receive the fruits of peace a safe and secure New Year.
