Christmas in China<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This time of year often makes me realize what an amazing city I live in. Shenzhen, China might already be wearing her LBD (Little Black Dress) but she\u2019s accessorized with some bling-bling! Shops, hotels and restaurants have all donned their best boas, rings and festive dangly-things and are looking pretty spectacular this holiday season \u5047\u671f<\/a> (ji\u00e0 q\u012b)!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, being away from home at Christmas time has always been a bit of an emotional time for me, even though I’ve always had wonderful friends and colleagues around me. In my past English-teacher-life I was distracted by Christmas songs \u5723\u8bde\u6b4c<\/a> (sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n g\u0113), Santa hats \u5723\u8bde\u8001\u4eba\u7684\u5e3d\u5b50<\/a> (sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n l\u01ceo r\u00e9n de m\u00e0o zi) and performances \u6f14\u51fa<\/a> (y\u01cen ch\u016b) and then I\u2019d watch Raymond Briggs\u2019 The Snowman (\u96ea\u4eba<\/a> (xu\u011b r\u00e9n) for the tenth time and become an emotional wreck.<\/p>\n

Celebrating Christmas in China as a Foreigner<\/h2>\n

Even though for the majority of the Chinese population, Christmas is just another day on the calendar, China has in some way started to embrace some elements of Christmas. Or at least, are making it easier for waiyguoren living in bigger cities to celebrate with good grub, fizzy wine and a good serving of Christmas pudding. Most hotels and restaurants provide a Christmas dinner for those who don’t want to deal with the mammoth task of cooking a turkey and trimmings. Most supermarkets sell Christmas decorations and it’s now possible to get real Christmas trees (delivered to your door, obviously!).<\/p>\n

Although there isn’t an official holiday for Christmas in China, schools and companies with foreign staff tend to have parties to celebrate on Christmas Eve or Christmas day.<\/p>\n

Christmas in the Office<\/h2>\n

In my first year at Written Chinese and my first year working in an office environment, it wasn’t the usual (as sitcoms have let me to believe) eggnog and snogging in the stock cupboard, we got ourselves into the Christmas spirit \u5723\u8bde\u8282\u7cbe\u795e<\/a> (sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n ji\u00e9 j\u012bng shen) in other ways.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, The Written Chinese Team decided to have a Secret Santa (\u795e\u79d8\u7684\u5723\u8bde\u8001\u4eba<\/a> – sh\u00e9n m\u00ec de Sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n L\u01ceo r\u00e9n). Now I\u2019m sure most of you have heard or even taken part in a Secret Santa, but some of our developers were, at first, a little reluctant to get involved! it\u2019s hardly surprising though, I feel as though foreigners \u5916\u56fd\u4eba<\/a> (w\u00e0i gu\u00f3 r\u00e9n) once you take them out of their natural habitat so to speak, seem to be overly excited about every holiday or event, like you have to emphasise the point \u2013 \u2018Hey, everyone. I know you don\u2019t celebrate Christmas but because we\u2019re so ridiculously excited about doing anything related to holidays we\u2019re going to decorate your office and make you do a gift \u793c\u7269<\/a> (l\u01d0 w\u00f9) swapping activity \u2013 enjoy!\u2019<\/p>\n

So before I tell you about our Secret Santa adventures, I wanted to find out a little more about what Chinese people think about Christmas. Actually, I was shopping in a famously branded jewelry store and there was so many Chinese men and couples buying \u5723\u8bde\u8282\u793c\u7269<\/a> (sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n ji\u00e9 l\u01d0 w\u00f9) Christmas gifts), I could barely get served. I wondered who they were buying for. Perhaps it\u2019s the case that like many western holidays such as Valentine\u2019s Day and Easter, China also wants to jump on the \u2018season of good tidings\u2019 bandwagon and get in on the action. Perhaps the reality is, Christmas is no longer about religion, or even tradition (\u4f20\u7edf<\/a> (chu\u00e1n t\u01d2ng), but the opportunity for companies to make a mint\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3113\"<\/p>\n

What Chinese people think about Christmas<\/h2>\n

So I asked one of my Chinese colleagues, Chamcen, who I might add, is sporting Santa and reindeer \u9a6f\u9e7f<\/a> (x\u00f9n l\u00f9) nail art, what she thought about Christmas:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years, Christmas has become popular (\u6d41\u884c<\/a> (li\u00fa x\u00edng) among Chinese young people, because it’s considered a romantic, modern and fashionable \u65f6\u5c1a<\/a> (sh\u00ed sh\u00e0ng) festival. As there isn’t a holiday for Christmas, Christmas for Chinese people is just Christmas Eve \u5e73\u5b89\u591c<\/a> (p\u00edng \u0101n y\u00e8). Most Chinese people understand Christmas to be about Christmas trees \u5723\u8bde\u6811<\/a> (sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n sh\u00f9), Father Christmas, gifts, revelry \u72c2\u6b22\u6d3e\u5bf9<\/a> (ku\u00e1ng hu\u0101n p\u00e0i du\u00ec) and another type of Valentine\u2019s Day (China has at least 4 ‘valentine’s day type celebrations per year!). When I was a kid, and watched TV about Christmas in Western countries, I really wanted to know how Father Christmas comes in if there’s no chimney?! How he can find my stocking (\u5723\u8bde\u889c<\/a> (sh\u00e8ng d\u00e0n w\u00e0)?\u201d
\n– Chamcen Liu – Assistant Project Manager and Generally Awesome Elf<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chamcen also told me that in China, on Christmas Eve, Chinese people eat apples and often give apples as gifts. You may have noticed that the Chinese for Christmas Eve is \u5e73\u5b89\u591c (p\u00edng \u0101n y\u00e8). The \u5e73<\/a> (p\u00edng) is similar to the \u82f9<\/a> (p\u00edng) in \u82f9\u679c<\/a> (p\u00edng gu\u01d2 – apple), but literally translated \u5e73\u5b89 means safety and \u591c means evening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Secret Santa in the Written Chinese Office<\/h2>\n

So on Christmas Eve at 6pm, sparked by Chamcen\u2019s enthusiasm, we all crowded around our tiny bamboo Christmas tree to open our gifts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were\u00a0candies and cosmetics, games, gadgets and a goat…spirits were high and gifts were given with thought and care. Parcels were ripped open with the excitement of a 5-year-old hoping for a Ninja Turtle doll (yes, they are cool again).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We all wished each\u00a0other a Merry Christmas and some of us went home to be with our families (or surrogates in my case) some of us stayed and played with the coolest toy…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Who would have known we were away from our homes and celebrating Christmas in China\u2026<\/p>\n

On 26th December, Boxing Day \u8282\u793c\u65e5\u00a0<\/a>(ji\u00e9 l\u01d0 r\u00ec) in my neck of the woods (UK), it’s a day to eat leftovers (check), wear a Christmas sweater (check), and be grateful for having had another wonderful Christmas (double-check).<\/p>\n
