2. Apples are economical and have a good meaning, so apples delivered on Christmas Eve can be called "safe fruits". It is said that the fruit of peace symbolizes peace and harmony. The reason why it becomes a fruit of peace is that it is taken from the homonym of apples, which means peace and auspiciousness, expresses a kind of wish and conveys a kind of blessing, so there will be the habit of giving apples.
3. Giving apples to each other on Christmas Eve is because people in China pay more attention to homophonic sounds, such as throwing red dates, peanuts, cassia seeds and melon seeds on the bed at the wedding night, which means "having a baby early". Apple's "ping" is homophonic with the "ping" of peace, which means that China people have the auspicious meaning of apple's "peace", so there is a new custom of sending apples on Christmas Eve.
