圣诞快乐！Merry Christmas!
While the U.S. has been inundated with Christmas decorations, and sales since at least Halloween, if not before, China (at least in Xi’an) has been quite the
opposite. In fact, most shopping malls, and restaurants didn’t start putting up Christmas decorations until less than one week before the holiday! By about the 23rd of December, when I went downtown, it finally felt like Christmas was near, minus the snow.
Christmas in China, however, is not like the holiday I’m used to. It’s quite a bit different. There’s really no religious aspect to it at all. They’ve stripped it of all religious meaning and left it to simple Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and other agnostic cheer.
