I never celebrated Christmas when I was young. I am not a christian and I was brought up in a typical traditional chinese family. We only celebrated the traditional chinese festivals like chinese new year, moon-cake festival, dumpling festival and so on. What we received were the red packets on Chinese New Year instead of the colourful-wrapped christmas presents. The term “Santa-clause” is what we know from stories books. We were told that he is the “ang-moh” version of our “God of fortune” in the chinese new year. Haha..come to think of it now, it’s really funny! The only resemblance that I could think is they all wear red colour costumes!
Despite all these, I started to like the feeling of Christmas as I grow up. The joyful feeling of Christmas, the soul-calming Christmas carols and the dazzling deco on the streets made me anticipating for its arrival.
I told my children about the stories of Christmas and the generous Santa who would deliver gifts to the well-behaved children on Christmas eve! We even made a snow man by using rolls of cotton wool. I want them to share the joyous moment together.
Merry X’mas everyone!
