Christmas custom
1, decorate the Christmas tree
This tradition refers to decorating pine trees with colored lights, gold foils, garlands, decorations and sweets. Nowadays, the Christmas tree is also an indispensable part of celebrating festivals. Typical colored lights are usually white or green wires. Of course, the main thing is to choose the color that suits your Christmas tree, so that when hanging colored lights, the wires can be hidden and radiated from the inside of the tree, which can make the Christmas tree look more beautiful. When hanging Christmas lights, you should start from the bottom of the trunk and slowly wind around the branches and ends.
Step 2 light Christmas candles
This tradition means that people will put a lighted candle outside the house during Christmas. Even in the darkest room, candles can bring light and symbolize hope. In the early years, when Christians were persecuted, they were forbidden to preach and pray. Therefore, Christians put candles outside the house, suggesting that they are still praying silently in their hearts.
