Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival in China?

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by yerar in China. Christamas cards become more popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Chrismas gifts. A lot TV and radio programs about Christmas are present in China. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing to the youungsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival in the future or not.

These two reason can tell you why the Christmas won't replace the Spring Festival in China. 1st reason, Christmas only affects Christians,college students and joint veture workers. Some of the old generation even do not know what Christmas is.2nd reaon is that Christmas is mostly celebratesd in citites. Few people in the countryside show extreme interest in this exotic festival. By contrst,the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every Chinese family.

I think it is natural with increasing exchanges with the West, a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese , we should never neflect or even discard our own traditional festival. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beigning of a new year.And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.

By the way the Christmas is coming .MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
