Christmas is coming. In Shanghai Christmas decorations (装饰品) are everywhere. There are Christmas trees and bright Christmas lights in front of shopping malls and along streets. The sound of Christmas music seems to come from every shop that you pass. In many schools, students are beginning to put up Christmas decorations in their classrooms and they are learning the words of Christmas songs. It would seem from all these activities that Christmas is now a Chinese festival and we think this is a good idea. Christmas comes at a good time of year for the Chinese. There is a long gap (间隔) between Mid-autumn Festival and Spring Festival. Christmas gives people an excuse to have a celebration, to have fun and enjoy themselves.
People outside China don’t like Christmas．
