Westerners use red, green and white as Christmas colors. When Christmas comes, every household should use Christmas colors to decorate it. The red ones include Christmas flowers and Christmas candles, and the green ones are Christmas trees, which are the main decorations of Christmas. They are decorated with cut evergreen trees such as Chinese fir and cypress, with colorful lights, gifts and paper flowers hanging on them and Christmas candles lit.
Red and white set each other off in harmony is Santa Claus, who is the most popular figure in Christmas activities. Before going to sleep on Christmas Eve, western children should put a sock in front of the fireplace or beside the pillow, waiting for Santa Claus to put gifts in the sock after they fall asleep. Playing Santa Claus is also a custom in the west.
