春节和圣诞节的异同英语作文

As we all know, the Spring Festival and Christmas are both the grandest national festival. Both the two festivals are the most popular ones for all over the world. On that day we will have parties with our relatives and friends to celebrate the coming new year.

However, there are some differences between the Spring Festival and Christmas. Firstly, the Spring Festival is an eastern festival. The young and the old can get red envelopes. But Christmas is a western festival. At Christmas people will give gifts to each other. Next, we often paste Spring Festival couplets on the doors. While at Christmas, we often hang up posters of Santa Claus on windows. Then, the great difference between them is the Spring Festival originates from the primitive society in order to sacrifice to ancestors and the gods and thank for the gifts of the nature, while Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Finally, during the Spring Festival, we always eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls, but at Christmas people have a wonderful Christmas dinner, and they often eat turkeys.

In the end, comparing the Spring Festival with Christmas, they are both meaningful for their countries. However, I think we can just have a great time on these days, and enjoy happiness, no mater what festival it is.
