If the custody is successful, then I think you should spend Christmas next year like this:
Prepare your friends’ gifts early; walk on the university campus I like, friend and classmate Kate invites you to Christmas with her family; run on the part-time road, stopping for Macy’s Christmas window; or spending a Christmas with T-shirts and shorts in Australia...
Merry Christmas

Some netizen: Are the trees used for Christmas abroad real or fake? Why are all Christmas trees pine trees?
Xiaoyue: It's true~ Some families even spend money to cut down Christmas trees in person, because compared to fake trees, real trees are cheaper; it is said that because of the evergreen nature of all seasons, it symbolizes that Christians who believe in Christ are given eternal life, but not all countries use pine trees, and some countries use fir trees, but New Zealand is an example. They use an evergreen tree called Pohutukawa.

A certain netizen: What is the most common thing you do on Christmas?
Xiaoyue: The family reunion dinner is a bit like the New Year’s Eve dinner; because it is a religious festival, going to church is something that most believers will do; many Japanese people will also celebrate the festival with their partners.
A certain netizen: What is the biggest difference between Christmas abroad and the Chinese Spring Festival? Is there anything similar?
Xiaoyue: Christmas is a festival with a strong religious color. In order to celebrate the existence of Jesus’ birthday, the Chinese Spring Festival is often a time point for farewell to a year, giving families far away to reunite. The similarities, the editor thinks it’s lost money! Although Christmas is only one day in name, Christmas in many countries is celebrated by week and month. Shopping malls started to crazily discount a few months ago, just to emptie customers' pockets mercilessly. The same is true for the Chinese Spring Festival. Think about the scene of buying things without any mercy before the Spring Festival. I may not know whether you are there or not, just ask yourself~ Anyway, there is my editor.
A netizen: I was invited to celebrate Christmas at a friend’s house abroad. What should I do?
Xiaoyue: Don’t be late, write a greeting card and bring a gift. You can choose the wine your host likes or other small gifts you like. I saw many people saying that they should try not to go too early in case the owner is not ready yet. In fact, the editor thinks it doesn’t matter if he goes a little earlier. You can help the owner so that you can better integrate into them and give yourself a sense of belonging.
A certain netizen: Do you send apples to each other on Christmas abroad? Are there any weird Christmas customs that can be recommended?
Xiaoyue: Uh~ I can't answer again with certainty: No, this custom is indeed domestic. In terms of strange customs, the Spanish Christmas wood man Tiode Nadal mentioned above is quite strange. This wood man wearing a Christmas hat and grin is a baby of the children two weeks before Christmas. He not only needs to feed it with food but also needs to keep it warm with a blanket. But on Christmas Eve, the children have to sing and knock it while singing until the wood man takes out the gift (the gift is placed by his parents~) and then throws it into the fire. It is said that this is to allow the wood man to get eternal warmth. What a magical operation!
A certain netizen: Is there anything going to happen on Christmas in China?
Teacher Xiaoyue: Jingyue Education TOEFL basic online courses for Christmas activities. If you want to spend Christmas abroad, you have to learn English first.
