Joyeux Noël !

It is Christmas night now, so Merry Christmas to all of you.

I remenbered that at last week's class we were discussing " what does Christmas mean to you " . I've read that some of the western press who were amused that " Asian people are celebrating Christmas " are unhappy now. They say that " Asian people don't know the meaning of the Christmas. They think Christmas is just a reason for crazy shopping. "

For western people, Christmas is really a holiday and is a day for family gathering, kind of like Chinese New Year. However, let's just take a specific look in Taiwan, Chistmas does not mean so much. As for me, it doesn't mean so much either, but it is a still good day to send cards to friends. Since I often forget their birthday, it is a good way to show my care for them ( laugh) . So on Christmas days I won't go to church, not sure will have a dinner with family, maybe send some cards to friends, definitely will buy something. That is how I often celebrate Christmas and, I guess, what Christmas means to me.

And, someone keep saying that Dec.25th is not only Jesus Christ's birthday but also our Constitution's birthday !
