Christmas Eve is the American New Year, and its importance in the United States is the same as that in China on New Year's Eve. People eat apples to pray for peace in the coming year, because there is peace in the word apple. It means peace.
This is also people's expectation for life. On this day, people in the United States will also prepare beautifully decorated Christmas trees, prepare Christmas presents for their families, and have a meal together. Perhaps it is because during this festival, people will interact with their friends and give gifts and apples to each other. This mode of getting along with each other is very popular in China, so it is popular in China.
The origin of Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve is a very important festival in the United States. On this day, the American people will go home for reunion. How did this festival come about? There are many legends about this source. One of the most famous stories is about Jesus. On the day when Jesus was born, Muyang people heard the voice of heaven and told them the news of Jesus' birth.
Jesus is the king of American people's religious belief. The angel reported the news of his birth to the shepherd, and then more people knew about it. So the American people later imitated angels and told others the news of Jesus' birth on Christmas Eve.
The whole process is probably completed by a group of more than 20 people. The specific time was after 9 o'clock, and they began to report the good news door to door. First, they will sing a famous Christmas song, and then tell this well-known story. There will also be the process of Santa Claus giving gifts to everyone.
Some customs of Christmas Eve may be beyond our understanding in China, but these customs are deeply believed by people abroad, and have not changed for many years, and will not change in the future, because this is an American culture, and these customs also contain people's wishes for life.
