Do Chinese children want to celebrate Christmas?
For our Chinese children, whether to celebrate Christmas has been debated by many people.
Some parents say: We have traditional festivals such as New Year's Day and Spring Festival, why should we live Western festivals?
Some people also dig deeply: Christmas was originally intended to commemorate the birth of Jesus, if you are not Christian, there is no need to join in the fun!
However, in my opinion, Christmas has nothing to do with religious beliefs, let alone "admiration" or "forgetting the roots".
For children: it is actually a beautiful fairy tale about Santa Claus; a christmas tree full of decorations and sparkling; a happy day when a good child will be rewarded with gifts.
In fact, Christmas is more like a pleasant game, a warm ceremony, and a parent-child moment that can feel happiness.
In the hearts of the children, on Christmas Eve, there will be a white-bearded old man in a red cotton coat and a Christmas hat, sitting on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, entering the house from the chimney and quietly putting down the gift.
Think about it, waking up in the morning, the child is looking forward to the bedside, to turn over the Christmas stockings, to look under the Christmas tree, there are really gifts, how ecstatic it will be!
It's nothing more than an expectation of life full of "blind box" surprises, nothing more.
The festival is divided into Chinese and foreign, but the happiness of the child is not divided.
Today, recommend a few heart-warming picture books about Christmas, accompany your children to see, and feel this fun and joyful holiday together! (I saw the surprise at the end!) ）

The design is full of ingenuity to exercise children's observation
The author has a lot of "careful thinking" in the design of the content, which requires you to take the child to taste slowly.
On the title page of the book there are 100 circles painted with various patterns, who are these?
Finally, on the last two pages of the book, the answer is given in the same place. For example, the circle with the fish corresponds to Santa Claus the Fisherman... Exactly 100. Not only can you practice counting for children, but you can also exercise your observation skills very well, and they will be very surprised when they find them.
At the end of the story, the Easter egg buried by the author will also make the children can't help but laugh, "one less Santa Claus", guess who it will be?
