Recently being influenced by Western country, Christmas is held as a secular celeberation in Vietnam though it is not a national holiday. In these day, we can recognize the differences on the road. Many entertaining spots decorated with colourful lights, Christmas trees, depictions of Santa Claus and caves with artificial snow. People also exchange gifts and send Christmas cards to each other with best wishes. In contrast to Western traditions, Christmas Eve is a day for couples to date and groups to hold parties. They have good time when strolling under Christmas lights in a romantic scene outside. Additonally, festivities such as singing caroll, decorating Christmas trees, etc. make the atmosphere more lively.
