In both China and the West, at this time of the year, we must endure the cold, the wind and the snow of wintertime. How good it is then that we have festivals to keep our spirits up and hearts warm!
Spring Festival in China and Christmas in foreign countries are times for families and friends to get together, exchange gifts and have a big dinner.
Although the two holidays are different – one is to celebrate Jesus Christ’s birth, while the other is celebrated because of thousands of years of Chinese folk traditions – Christmas and Spring Festival still have things in common.
In both, eating is a big part of the holiday celebration. In China we eat dumpling and niangao – cakes made of sticky rice – while Westerners sit down to a roast turkey or ham, with vegetables, apple-sauce and a plum (干果) pudding.
Gifts are another key element in both celebrations. In the West, families gather round the Christmas tree on Christmas morning and open their presents. Gifts range from the small – a box of chocolates – to the large. Children especially look forward to a big present, say a new bike or computer. Similarly, in China children receive gift money in red envelopes from their elders.
With the world becoming more connected, Spring Festival and Christmas have crossed cultural borders. It is not unusual in China to see Christmas trees and Father Christmas figures around the end of December.
And Chinese living abroad have made Spring Festival a special cultural event in many foreign countries. In some US cities, especially those with large Chinese neighborhoods, non-Asian adults and kids join in the fun. “ I've been celebrating Chinese New Year for a really long time, and it's a great cultural festival for the community,” said Leslie Swartz, who works at the city's Children's Museum in Boston. “Everyone goes to Chinatown. There are lion dances and firecrackers. It's very lively. Schools also celebrate Chinese New Year. ” Swartz said.
Swartz has a 13-year-old adopted Chinese daughter, Mei. They celebrate at home, too, decorating the house and eating special foods. They make traditional Chinese New Year's fruit trays (拼盘). They also write good luck messages on red paper, called spring couplets (对联), and hang them by the doors at home.

What’s in a
name? Well, apparently, our general happiness. Psychologists say that what we
are called has a direct connection with our well-being (幸福).
Those called Judy and Joshua are the happiest, while Lynn or Ben is likely to
be the unhappiest, according to research. Psychologist Dr David Holmes found
that this might due to the association(联想)that others made with the name.
Hearing the name Judy may make them think of actress Judi Dench or TV presenter
Judy Finnigan, people who are seen as good natured and happy. On the other hand,
people think Paulines are unhappy because of the character Pauline Fowler from
the TV programme East Enders. The research claims that this association
influences the person with the name and so their personality becomes shaped to
fit it. Dr David Holmes said, "This also has some relation with the
original meaning of the name. For example, the original meaning of Judy is
'praised’."
Certain names also work well in certain aspects of life. In the workplace
Richard and Judy are happiest, while those called Ruth and Carly are happiest
in relationships. At the other end of the scale the unhappiest workers are
Stuart and Liz, with the unhappiest in relationships being Frank and Harriet.
Dr Holmes said, "The relation we have with certain names, particularly
important namesakes(同名者), also shapes how we see ourselves and so may have an effect on our
confidence. Names are like product brands in having a powerful effect on
attitudes and should therefore be chosen with care."
"Other names are connected with being brave, outgoing or serious.
Therefore, many celebrities change their names to ones which reflect these
characteristics. This, in turn, influences parents when they choose names for
their babies," said Dr Holmes, "however, names connected with
ordinary people are seldom chosen for their babies".
