Christmas taboos and precautions in 2018:1. Respond to invitations promptly. If your foreign friends send you a party invitation and it clearly states that you should reply, then you must remember to reply in time and before the latest reply date specified. If you want to bring friends along, be sure to get the host's permission in advance.2. Be sure to arrive on time when attending parties abroad. It is impolite to be late for a party, but it is also inappropriate to arrive too early, because the host may still be busy decorating the room and preparing food, and your arrival will make the host feel embarrassed or even flustered because they are not ready. Therefore, arriving on time is basic etiquette for attending a party. 3. Remember to bring gifts to the party. Just like when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, you need to prepare gifts to show your appreciation when visiting a foreigner's home. The gift doesn't need to be too expensive, a bottle of wine will do. If you have children at home, it is also appropriate to prepare gifts for them. It is best to choose red or green gift wrapping paper to highlight the festive atmosphere of Christmas. 4. When eating Christmas dinner, a portion of pudding will be prepared for each person. The pudding should be stirred clockwise when eating. Pudding is a traditional Christmas food, just like the dumplings that Chinese people eat during the Spring Festival and the glutinous rice balls that they eat during the Lantern Festival. Westerners believe that eating pudding can bring good luck to the new year, so every family will eat pudding, stir it and make a wish before eating it. When stirring the pudding, you cannot stir it randomly, only stir it clockwise, and you cannot tell your wish to others. 5. Avoid eating food with blood on Christmas Day. If you dine with Christians, you must wait until they finish praying before you pick up your utensils to eat. 6. Christians stipulate that they can only eat vegetarian food and no other meat on Fridays and December 24th. Catholics only eat one meal on Good Friday and the day before Christmas. 7. When giving gifts to Christians, avoid gifts with images of gods from other religions or totems worshipped by other ethnic groups. 8. Don’t give gloves as gifts at Christmas, as it represents a provocation. Also, don't give yellow gifts, as yellow symbolizes infidelity abroad. They prefer blue, because in their eyes blue represents friendship. |
