Whereas the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival(also known as the Chinese New Year), America's most popular holiday is Christmas.
As Chinese kids get “lucky money” from their parents and relatives, American children get Christmas presents from Santa Claus.
From early November until January, American homes and stores are decorated with Christmas trees and colorful lights.Similarly, Chinese homes are decorated with Spring Festival couplets and streets are full of red lanterns.
Easter was borrowed from the Pagan Festival celebrating the rebirth of the sun.It was adapted by Christianity to be interpreted as the resurrection of Jesus.One American tradition associated with Easter is the Easter egg hunt.Brightly colored eggs are hidden for children to try to find.Sometimes hidden amongst the other eggs is what we call “a lucky egg”.If you find the lucky egg, you win a prize.
Sending cards for special occasions-such as Christmas, New Year, Mother's Day, and birthdays-has been an American tradition.But sending cards is less common than before since computers have become so popular.
