Christmas is an important festival in the West. People decorate their houses with lights and Christmas trees. They also hang mistletoe in their homes. It is a custom that when a man and a woman find themselves under the mistletoe, they must kiss! Mistletoe is a symbol of forgiveness and love.

Decorations for Chinese New Year are mainly red and gold. Red is thought to be lucky. Red lanterns and firecrackers are popular and children are dressed in new red clothes. Decorated peach trees are also common and poems are used to decorate doorways to bring luck in the New Year.

At Halloween, decorations are mostly frightening! Ghosts(鬼), witches(巫师) and monsters are used to decorate just about everything. Jack-o’-lanterns are another important decoration for Halloween. They are carved out of pumpkins(南瓜)and a candle is lit inside.

At some festivals, animals are decorated. For example, in Austria, the Almabtrieb festival happened each year in autumn.
