The second is to write Christmas cards, Westerners will be in the advent of Christmas to friends and coworkers to send a sincere Christmas card, in the annual Christmas around the post office is the busiest time, almost the whole country are sending each other cards to send good wishes.
The third is the Christmas dinner on Christmas night, which is like New Year's Eve, a time for family reunions, when children who work outside the home come home to enjoy a sumptuous Christmas dinner with their families, the most famous being roast turkey.
Fourth is the "Good Tidings", in which churches organize choirs to sing Christmas carols in the evening of the 24th to the morning of the 25th to send blessings to everyone.
