The passing of Christmas has always been a topic of discussion in western festivals, such as who dominates foreign festivals and traditional festivals, and whether cultural tolerance and national self-confidence exist. Christmas seems to be an either-or problem, and it is often thought that there are some values behind it.

In recent years, in addition to the well-known Valentine's Day and Christmas, western festivals such as Thanksgiving and Halloween have gradually been accepted by more young people. On the one hand, the voice of opposition is growing, thinking that this is a contempt for traditional festivals and a lack of attention to one's own traditional culture, but the phenomenon that foreign festivals are becoming more and more prosperous has been staged.

Many people who like Christmas may not know the true meaning of "Christmas", but this does not prevent them from enjoying it. For most people in China, celebrating the so-called foreign festivals is just a reason to relax and a happy and warm atmosphere. There is no need to oppose Chinese and Western festivals or even Chinese and Western cultures.

However, Christmas is entirely an arrangement for one's lifestyle, and there is no need to elevate it to the level of patriotism or not. In the past winter solstice, a traditional festival in China, there was no large-scale traffic jam because it was on weekends. However, there is a saying among the people that "Chinese New Year is celebrated in winter". Public transportation in various places is equally popular, and major restaurants are also crowded. It can be seen that the existence of western festivals does not affect people's inheritance and love for traditional festivals.

As for whether the merchants like festivals or not, don't worry about it. Even if there are no festivals, you can have a few for no reason, just like Singles' Day. I don't know when it started, but now I can't stop getting off the bus every year, attracting e-commerce companies to join in and make it a feast for the electric business community.

After "Double Eleven", there is also a "Double Twelve". In a word, I'm afraid you can't think of it. I'm afraid there is no such gimmick to attract customers' consumption. Therefore, taking businessmen's enthusiasm for festivals as an example is like asking businessmen if they like making money.

For so many years, young people have been living various western festivals, and it seems that there is no harm at present. At least, young people who like Christmas can get together and laugh, family members who like Christmas can chat around the Christmas tree, businesses who like Christmas promotion earn a lot of money, and people who like to buy bargains return home with a full load-each has his own needs and his own fun, so why not?

Those who don't like Christmas, no one will drag you out of bed and go to Christmas Eve. What festivals do you like and how to spend them are just personal lifestyle choices, or an attitude towards life. There is no need to give values too much color.
