Christmas customs include decorating the Christmas tree and making Christmas cards.

1, decorate the Christmas tree

The Christmas tree began in Germany, and it was made of evergreen and tower-shaped trees such as fir trees and pine trees, which were cut down and decorated with various decorations. Generally, a five-pointed star or an angel will be placed at the top of the tree. The tree is decorated with all kinds of sweets, snacks, colored lights, toys, etc., and Christmas presents are piled up on it or under it. On Christmas Eve, people sing and dance around the Christmas tree and have fun.

2. Making Christmas cards

For distant relatives and friends who can't get together at Christmas, westerners will make a Christmas card and send it to each other to wish a happy Christmas and maintain family friendship. Generally, family news such as family photos or family members' achievements in the past year will be sent with Christmas cards.

In the past, only large and wealthy families would roast suckling pigs. Later, when life became better and everyone could afford it, it became a custom. It is customary to put an apple in a pig's mouth.
