听到“jingle bells, jingle bells…”的歌声，看到商店里的圣诞树和圣诞老人的头像，大家都知道圣诞节快到了，该是买礼物的时候了。这个西方传统的节日，现在在中国也十分流行。不过，为了适应中国的本土特色，圣诞节在中国也进行了一些改造。

These days I’ve noticed Christmas trees displayed in many shop windows, and Christmas music often playing on the streets. Do Chinese people also celebrate Christmas?
现在中西文化交流频繁西方的很多节日都传入了中国圣诞节当然也不例外

With frequent cultural exchanges between China and the West, many Western holidays have been introduced here, and Christmas is no exception.
可是我听说大部分的中国人都不信奉基督教
kěshì 可是wǒ 我tīngshuō 听说dàbùfēn 大部分de 的zhōngguórén 中国人dōu 都bù 不xìnfèng 信奉jīdūjiào 基督教
But I heard most Chinese people aren’t Christian.
是啊所以圣诞节在中国并不算是一个宗教性的节日而是第二个

Right, so Christmas in China isn’t a religious holiday—it’s more like a second Valentine’s Day.
