Christmas Eve, also known as Christmas Eve, is one of the most important religious holidays in Western countries and a time of year for family reunions. In previous yearsChristmas EveWe are always looking forward to receiving a gift from the propertyApplesThis tradition originated in China and symbolizes peace and happiness. However, this year'sChristmas Eve, the property was not issued as usualApples, probably due to the impact of the epidemic, the festive atmosphere is missing. But the moving meaning of good fortune from heaven has not changed, but the way of expression has changed.
To get in the festive spirit, I decided to go out to eat with my family and visit a nearby mall. Despite the cold weather, I didn't want to go too far. Luckily, the mall is close to us, just a few minutes drive away.
After entering the mall, I found that compared to previous years, this year'sChristmasThe atmosphere has noticeably weakened. At this time of the year, the mall is full of cheerful Christmas songs, and you feel the festive atmosphere everywhere when you walk on the road. And today, inside the mallIt was very bland, without the cheerfulness and hustle and bustle of previous years.
There was also no one at the entrance of the mall to distribute itApples, there is no table of gift boxesApplesand other small Christmas gifts, replaced by some of the shop doorsChristmas treesand ornaments. The ** in the mall is relatively stable, and there is no crowding. The once bustling shopping malls now seem deserted, perhaps because of the impact of the epidemic, people are more cautious and rational.
We decided to go to the third floor of the mall for a good meal, originally thoughtChristmas EveThere will be long queues, but it turns out that this is not the case. Compared to the usual weekends, the crowds did not increase significantly, which was a surprise for us. We went home after a smooth meal, and although some activities were missing, it was more important for the children to return to a warm family.
First of all, after three consecutive years of the impact of the epidemic, people pay less and less attention to formalistic things and pay more attention to practical thingslifeEconomyThe instability of the situation has also led people to pay more attention to frugality and rational consumption, and they are willing to invest their limited financial resources in more important things than just the celebration of holidays. People are more pragmatic and thoughtful, and only want to bring tangible benefits to themselves and their families.
Secondly, the patriotic feelings of young people are gradually growing, and they express indignation and dissatisfaction with what some Western countries are doing. This sentiment has led to a shift in their attitude towards the celebration of Western festivals, and they are no longer as enthusiastic about participating as they used to be. And more young people choose to pay attention to the domestic onesTraditional festivals, pay more attention to the display of Chinese culture.
This year'sChristmasIt is indeed different from previous years. withSocialof the vicissitudes and peopleValuesThe way the festival is celebrated is also quietly changing. And my personal understanding of the festival is also deepening.
The festival is not only material and superficial excitement, but more importantly, it represents a kind of emotional transmission and the meaning of reunion. On this special occasion, we can spend time with our loved ones and friends to express love and blessings. Although the festive atmosphere is not as strong as in previous years, we can still convey the warmth of the festival in our own way.
According to what I've learned, this year'sChristmasThere have been some changes across the globe. Affected by the epidemic and the international situation, people pay more attention to family and health, rather than blindly pursuing material things and liveliness. This is also evident all around us, with many people choosing to spend the festive season in the quiet of their homes, to reunite with loved ones or to pursue their inner selvesTranquility
For me,ChristmasIt's more of a moment of reflection and relaxation. I will use this holiday to reflect on the gains and regrets of the past year, and at the same time, I will also make new plans for future goals. Spending time with my family is also my most important way to celebrate the holidays, where we can enjoy food and games togetherEntertainment, pass the warmth of the family to everyone around you.
In general, this year'sChristmasAlthough it is different from previous years, we can still feel the warmth and unity of the festival. Although the festive atmosphere is no longer buzzing, we can create our own unique holiday experience by reuniting with loved ones and reflecting on our thoughts.
