Colleges and universities resisted the regional ban, and the "foreign festival" was unprecedentedly cold. Will you spend Christmas with your children?

However, in recent years, we have found a strange phenomenon, that is, the Christmas atmosphere is getting colder and colder, especially in 2020, there is no Christmas atmosphere in the streets.

As usual, Christmas trees will be placed at the gates of major businesses and shops, and the big head of Santa Claus will be affixed to the windows.

What the hell is going on here? Have China people awakened to the idea of inheriting traditional festivals and boycotting foreign festivals?

With the boycott of colleges and universities and the prohibition of regions, the "foreign festival" encountered an unprecedented cold reception. Should we celebrate Christmas?

In fact, Christmas has always occupied an important position in our country. In a sense, it may be second only to Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, National Day and Labor Day.

Until recent years, more and more people in China realized that this idea was incorrect, which triggered a boycott. Once someone celebrates Christmas, they will be labeled as "worshipping foreign things and admiring foreign things".

★ University boycotts, regional bans, and Christmas has become the target of public criticism.

A while ago, an aunt who lived in a famous university gave a gift to her classmates for Thanksgiving. As a result, she was reported as a "foreign festival" by students. Finally, her aunt publicly apologized and admitted that she had done something bad with good intentions.

Nowadays, more and more colleges and universities are boycotting students to celebrate "foreign festivals", especially some famous schools with national defense nature. I am afraid that buying a Christmas fruit at Christmas will be "dragged away".

In addition, Langfang, Hebei, Hengyang, Hunan and other places have also introduced relevant policies to prohibit businesses from holding related activities at Christmas, and passers-by are not allowed to occupy the road for carnival.

Christmas has become the target of public criticism. The most important reason is that the relationship between China and western countries is tense, and the atmosphere of traditional festivals is getting less and less interesting. People are worried that western festivals will replace traditional festivals, which has led to the present phenomenon.

★ Why do people like to celebrate Christmas?

Christmas is a continuation of "Double Eleven" and "Double Twelve" for businesses and shops. They can attract customers to buy goods through promotional activities, thus making profits.

This is one of the important reasons why the atmosphere of Christmas is stronger than that of Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, because there are only moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival and zongzi in Dragon Boat Festival, and the breadth of goods is far less extensive than that of Christmas.

Young people like Christmas, which doesn't mean they like it, but can release the pressure of work through it.

In other words, they like this sense of ceremony for Christmas. Our sense of ritual for Spring Festival and National Day is only travel and vacation, while the sense of ritual for Christmas is dinner and shopping.

★ Should people celebrate Christmas? Netizens have something to say.

So, can we have Christmas? Netizens are divided into two factions, arguing endlessly.

Supporter: We should celebrate Christmas!

Reason 1: Christmas used to be a religious festival, but now it has become a global carnival day.

If the foreign festival is about worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things, then don't use everyone's Apple mobile phone or Microsoft system on the computer!

Reason 2: Real national strength is not resistance, but tolerance! Isn't the Qing dynasty's closed-door policy the best example? We should persist in inheriting traditional festivals and accepting foreign cultures.

Reason 3: Teacher Liang Hongda said that patriotism embodies love and self-confidence, and it is definitely not inferiority and hatred. Jesus and Santa Claus didn't start the war of aggression. Why get involved in culture?

Opponents: We shouldn't celebrate Christmas.

Reason 1: The religious atmosphere of Christmas is too strong. Why don't Christians celebrate festivals? Besides, there are so many traditional festivals of our own, there is no need to join in the fun for Christmas!

Reason 2: Trade war, science and technology war and culture war are all wars between civilizations in the final analysis. Influenced by the west, they gradually forgot the cultural background of their country, and today's young people don't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Reason 3: Christmas is not a legal holiday, and there is no holiday. Why are people so excited? Will this affect the work efficiency of students and office workers?

Besides, the annual Christmas carnival will affect social order and should not be supported!

★ What is the meaning of children's Christmas?

Having said that, should we spend Christmas with our children? Every parent has his own ideas, let's talk about it first.

Children's Christmas has great advantages:

It is necessary for children to understand western culture, which is the most basic science. Even if they don't celebrate Christmas, they should know the meaning of Christmas.

② While learning about western festivals, children can also strengthen the concept of traditional festivals and indirectly promote them.

What children like is not Christmas, but the sense of Christmas ceremony, such as Christmas tree, Santa Claus, presents with socks and so on.

In this process, they can also learn to be grateful and know how to share happiness.

It can be seen that children can't pass the "foreign festival", which is far more important than parents think.

Nowadays, many parents spend Christmas with their children, and they will be called "worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things", which is totally unnecessary.

As long as parents establish a correct view of children and don't forget to instill traditional festivals, Christmas is also a way to relax.
