The Chinese Christmas: Apple giving
A tradition that’s becoming popular, on Christmas Eve, is giving apples. Many stores have apples wrapped up in colored paper for sale. People give apples on Christmas Eve because in Chinese Christmas Eve is called ‘Ping An Ye‘ (which means quiet or silent night) and the word for apple in Chinese is ‘Ping Guo‘ which sounds similar.
The strange thing is that most of the world’s plastic Christmas Trees and Christmas decorations are made in China, but the people making them might not know what they are for!!!
