Actually I don’t have any plan for xmas. I want to make an appointment with my colleague who we work together in my last company. And I’m planning to have a hotpot with her and talk about my last company, such as the gossip news. I haven’t make other plans yet. I haven’t tell her the time and the place.

“Asian people should not celebrate western holidays.” Do you agree or disagree with the statement and why?

In my opinion , I don’t think it is really need to separate the events on western and eastern holidays.
nowadays , there are lots of events or holidays that we can touch from anywhere. If the countries don’t aggress and infult the original culture, I think we can celebrate together all the holidays. For exsample , X-mas, and hallowin day are very good events for kids , most kids are happy to receive a gift from their parents. even in China some kindergarden make a event for children on that days, which make the children a unforgettable memories.
