Hi, guys! I’m Yuting. Today our topic is Christmas. I know that Christmas is originally from Western world, but it's really popular in China in this year. So today we're going to learn some words related to the Christmas in China. So let's begin!
1. 圣诞节 (Shèngdàn Jié) "Christmas Day"
现在中国人也庆祝圣诞节。 (xiànzài Zhōngguórén yě qìngzhù Shèngdàn Jié .) "Nowadays Chinese people also celebrate Christmas Day."
We don't have holiday on this day, so we'll still go to work and go to school, and in the evening we can go to the shop to buy something. That's our christmas.

Because 苹果(píngguǒ), “apple”, shares the same pronunciation with 平安(píng'ān), “safety”. And also, another Christmas fruit can be orange.

我们家里没有圣诞树。 (wǒmen jiā lǐ méiyǒu Shèngdànshù .) "We don't have a Christmas tree in our home."
