When I spent Christmas away from home in Europe for the first time, I was only 14 and it was certainly terrible. I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy:
First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.
Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24th.
Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to be as if the holiday doesn't exist, you are just going to make it worse.
Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some special traditions in their home. Little by little it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new.
Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe (食谱) of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake.
Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (装饰品) for your tree.
Pay attention to new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them.
If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while enjoying the new ones.

Invented (发明) it. Zhang Heng was born in Nanyang in the Eastern Han dynasty. At that time, earthquakes (地震) happened every year. People thought they were from ghosts, but Zhang Heng didn’t believe that. He studied about earthquakes for many years, and in AD 132 he invented the first seismometer (地动仪) in the world. | |
Used it. At first, people didn’t believe it. In December, AD 134, Zhang Heng’s seismometer told that there would be an earthquake in the west of the country. After four days, three earthquakes really happened there. People believed that it was helpful from then on. But the seismometer was lost later. | |
Reproduced it. Scientists tried to reproduce a seismometer like Zhang Heng’s in the past years. Now there is a reproduced one in Shanghai museum. Some people say it was a little helpful during the earthquakes in Tangshan. We hope it will be better soon and be really able to help people one day. |
