Since the middle of the 5th century, Christmas, as an important festival, has become a tradition of the church, and gradually spread among eastern and western churches. Due to the different calendars used, the specific dates and forms of activities held by various sects are also different. Christmas customs spread to Asia mainly in the mid-19th century, and Japan and South Korea were all influenced by Christmas culture. Nowadays, it has become a common custom in the west to give gifts to each other, hold banquets and add festive atmosphere with Santa Claus and Christmas tree. Christmas has also become a public holiday in the western world and many other regions. As a Christmas gift, Christmas cards are very popular in America and Europe. Many families bring annual family photos or family news with them. The news generally includes the strengths and specialties of family members in the past year. Sending Christmas cards on Christmas Day is not only to celebrate the joy of Christmas, but also to bless relatives and friends to show their thoughts. Especially for relatives and friends in loneliness, it is kind care and comfort.
