Apples are economical and have a beautiful meaning, so the 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 the 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.

Giving apples to each other on Christmas Eve is because people in China pay more attention to homophonic. For example, on the wedding night, red dates, peanuts, cassia seeds and melon seeds are thrown on the bed, which means "having a baby early". Apple's "ping" is homophonic with the "ping" of peace, implying that China people have the auspicious meaning of "peace" of apples, so there is a new custom of sending apples on Christmas Eve.

Sending an apple means that the person who sends the apple hopes that the person who receives the apple can also receive the apple, and the apple received on Christmas Eve is edible. Only in this way can we truly accept the blessings of others and be safe in the new year.
