Why do the Chinese celebrate Christmas?
Here in Zhuhai, there are Christmas trees in all the stores and offices. Everyone is saying "Merry Christmas" to each other, and Christmas carols and songs are on all the stations. My friends all are going to do something special for the holiday, like getting a massage, going to a hot spring, maybe do some singing at a KTV. Yet, last time when I was back in the States, most people were afraid to say "Merry Christmas". Instead they timidly said "Happy Holidays". Why is China so brazenly pro Christmas, and America so timid about it. Why has this changed from the time when I was a boy growing up in the NorthEast?

Ummm... I don't know where you are but in most of the country people are not a bit shy about celebrating Christmas, and making it explicit that they are celebrating Christmas. The Happy Holidays are stores marketing decisions.

Why do Christians celebrate Christmas? It's originally a pagan holiday called winter solstice.
