What is the old beauty's Christmas like?

In the past, when I was in China, Christmas seemed to be a festival that couples could only celebrate. Single dogs such as me listened to Eason Chan in the dormitory every yearLonely XmasI've done it! 🤣🤣🤣 How many people raise their hands the same? 🤣🤣🤣 The couple went out to have a Christmas dinner and have a look Movies, shopping, exchanging gifts, etc. If you are single, you can go out to eat with friends, take a photo with Santa Claus in the mall and send a Weibo, almost.


It was only after being with my husband that I really felt what Christmas was.


1⃣️ Decorating the Christmas tree


Basically after Thanksgiving, every household will start putting a Christmas tree in the hall. The picture below is a high-level Christmas tree, and the tree skirt at the bottom is a snowy Christmas village, which is very beautiful. ! 👇



The Christmas tree should be covered with a dazzling array of Christmas decorations and lights. Families have to exchange gifts on Christmas Day, and the closest relatives have to prepare5 more than 5 gifts. I am really tired!



Christmas tree with stars, angels and more.



This is my simple version of the Christmas tree. It only has small balls and strings of pearls. 🤣



You can also attend a Christmas tree lighting ceremony near your home. Before the lighting ceremony, everyone will sing, recite Christmas poems and stories together, and then count down to light up the Christmas tree. Santa Claus and helpers will be present, which is a very atmospheric event!




2⃣️ About Christmas balls


The most basic style is the colorful Christmas balls, and there are a few decorations, depending on your personal preference!





What I'm about to share is more particular. Lao Mei likes to make this kind of customized Christmas balls to record the development process of a family, such as newlyweds, children's first Christmas, family portraits of a certain year, etc. Add one more every year on the Christmas tree, and a tree is full memories.








3⃣️ Christmas meal


Christmas is more professional to eat steak, so don't eat hot pot, turkey, etc., if you want to look more professional. Served with mashed potatoes and asparagus.



Another favorite dish of mine is Shell PastaClam Zuppa, Looking at the booming Christmas atmosphere, this is also a Christmas dish promoted by many restaurants, and it is more in line with Chinese tastes.



Christmas family dinner must have Christmas dessert, this rainbow-colored ice cream is very interesting, the bottom is juice soda, the top is rainbow-colored ice cream, take a cup to drink, sweet and sour , the ice cream sticks to the mouth, it means snow!


You can buy this Christmas wreath to decorate the salt and pepper shakers for family dinners. Lay Christmas-style tablecloths and Christmas-style napkins on the table. Old Mei is really particular about it! Put two more Christmas balls for decoration, things are not expensive, and they are very ceremonial.



In addition, as a token of appreciation for the family mealhost, send This Christmas-style flower arrangement, I thought it looked good, so I took a photo!



4⃣️ Christmas Day


In addition to watching movies, couples might try watching a Christmas ballet musical in the United States. We watched The Nutcracker, which we went to the theatre specifically for. Give some money and get a taste of American Christmas culture. When you have kids, encourage kids to go toXmas Carol, take part in a Christmas group show, or it's good for parents to be in the audience.





Families with better conditions will decorate their houses and buy a lot of Christmas decorations, so that people who pass by outside can feel the warmth of Christmas. atmosphere.



Everyone has their own way of celebrating Christmas, no matter how much or how little. I wish you all a ”All I want for Christmas is YOU” Christmas with your loved ones Well, stop listening toLonely XmasHolidays! 🤣

老美的圣诞节是怎么样的?

以前在国内的时候,圣诞节貌似是情侣才能过的节日,单身狗如我就年年在宿舍听陈奕迅的Lonely Xmas过的!🤣🤣🤣 有多少人是一样的举个手?🤣🤣🤣 情侣就出去吃个圣诞大餐、看看电影、逛逛街交换礼物啥的,单身的就和小伙伴一起出去吃个饭,和商场里的圣诞树圣诞老人合照一下发个微博,差不多了。


和我老公在一起之后,才真真正正感受到什么叫圣诞节。


1⃣️ 装饰圣诞树


基本上感恩节过后,每家每户都会开始放圣诞树在厅里面,下图是高级配置的圣诞树,底下的树裙是白雪茫茫的圣诞村,特别好看!👇



圣诞树上面要挂满琳琅满目的圣诞装饰球、灯饰。家人要在圣诞节当天交换礼物,最亲的亲人要准备5份以上礼物,真心好累!



圣诞树上挂星星、天使等等。



这是我家的简易版圣诞树,只有小球球和珍珠串,应节应节,跟上面豪华版的相比很逊色,大家看看就好!🤣



还可以参加家附近的圣诞树亮灯仪式。亮灯仪式前大家都会一起唱歌、朗诵圣诞诗歌和故事,然后一起倒计时点亮圣诞树,圣诞老人和帮手都会在场,是一个挺有气氛的活动!




2⃣️ 关于圣诞球


最基本的款式就是带颜色的圣诞球,还有的是少量装饰,看个人喜欢啦!





我要分享的是比较讲究的。老美喜欢做这种定制的圣诞球,记录一个家庭的发展历程,如新婚、孩子第一个圣诞节、某某年的全家福等等,一年增添一个在圣诞树上,一棵树都挂满了回忆。








3⃣️ 圣诞餐


圣诞节比较专业的是吃牛排,所以圣诞节就别吃火锅啊、火鸡啊等等,如果要显得比较专业的话。配的是土豆泥、芦笋。



还有一道我最喜欢的菜是贝壳意大利面Clam Zuppa,看着红红火火的很有圣诞气氛,这也是很多餐厅都推的圣诞菜式,也比较符合中国人的口味。



圣诞家庭聚餐必须有圣诞甜点,这一道彩虹颜色的雪糕就挺有意思,底下是果汁汽水,上面是彩虹颜色的雪糕,拿杯子喝,酸酸甜甜的,雪糕黏在嘴上就有雪的意思!


家庭聚餐的盐和胡椒罐,可以买这种圣诞花环点缀一下,桌上铺圣诞样式的桌布、放圣诞样式餐巾,老美真的很讲究啊!再放两个圣诞球点缀,东西都不贵,搭配起来就很有仪式感。



此外,为了表达对家庭聚餐host的感谢,还可以送上这一种圣诞式样的花草摆设,我觉得好好看,就拍下来了!



4⃣️ 圣诞节目


情侣除了看电影,不妨试试在美国看圣诞芭蕾音乐剧。我们看的是《胡桃夹子》,专门去剧院看的。给点钱,感受一下美国圣诞文化。有孩子后,鼓励孩子去参加Xmas Carol,参加圣诞集体表演,父母去当观众也很好。





再有条件一点的人家,会在自己的屋外都好好装饰一番,买很多的圣诞装饰,目的是让外面经过的人都能感受到圣诞节的温情气氛。



无论做多做少,钱多钱少,每个人都有自己庆祝圣诞的方式。祝愿大家都能和自己心爱的人在一起,过一个”All I want for Christmas is YOU” 的圣诞节吧,别再听Lonely Xmas过节了!🤣
