Its like a harvest festival in the Fall. Lots of eating!! Instead of moon cake, we have turkey and pumpkin pie! Yummy:)<BR/><BR/>Like Thanksgiving, Christmas is a big family holiday, so maybe closer to Chinese New Year than Thanksgiving. Technically, Christmas is a Christian holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. However, in America, most people see it as a time for, family, food, drink, togetherness and giving (hence, all the presents!)....others find it very stressful and depressing. <BR/><BR/>True to American style, Christmas is also very important as an economic indicator. Many businesses depend on people buying and spending lots of money during this season, and can be used to determine the state of the economy. This year: not so good! <BR/><BR/>At least there is still family, friends, and the Yankees!! Maybe the Yankees will get a nice gift of C.C. and other great free agents!MJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284049072292523587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-35689461013587030232008-11-30T01:48:00.000+11:002008-11-30T01:48:00.000+11:00Ha!

You don't need to know much else about American holidays.. its about spending money, and stuffing your face!! lol <BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving<BR/>I don't know much of your culture, so I have like zero points of reference to explain it to you, but I hope these links give at least a decent overview.
