Year-Round Festivals Series - New Year - 8 Great Ideas to Welcome the New Year 2024
1. Looking back at 2023
What challenges have you faced in the past year and how have they taught you to grow?
2. Outdoor Countdown
Even if it's cold outside, getting out in the fresh air, taking a walk in the park with friends and family, or waiting for the New Year's Eve countdown together can be a great way to cheer up your mood.
3. Dress yourself up a little!
Welcome the new year with a well-groomed and cleaned-up look. A fresh outfit makes you feel better about yourself and is a great way to welcome the New Year.
4. Video calls to distant relatives and friends โ๏ธ
Take advantage of the New Year holidays to have a good chat with your dear friends and family in faraway places.
5. Decluttering
Cleaning your home cleanses your mind and heart and frees up space for the year ahead.
6. Write thank you notes to those who have helped you
Send a thank you card or a small gift to someone who has helped you, not only to make the other person feel warm, but also to make yourself realise that you are not the only one who is working hard on your own path.
7. Cooking
It's easy to go out to a restaurant and enjoy a good meal, but cooking a delicious New Year's Eve meal with friends and family is a completely different experience.
8. Write down small New Year's wishes
Small changes can make a big difference in your life.

Year-round Festivals Series 47 - Christmas - 6 Christmas Symbols and what they mean Part 2
The Nutcracker๐ฐ
According to German folklore, the Nutcracker is seen as the gatekeeper who brings luck to the family. They represent strength and power to protect the family. Around 1865, German woodworkers began selling nutcrackers for the first time, based on a story from a children's picture book. In 1892, a Russian composer adapted the story into the world-famous ballet The Nutcracker. As the ballet was set on Christmas Eve, the hero of the story, the Nutcracker, came to life. The product was quickly associated with Christmas symbols.
Christmas Bells ๐
In ancient times, when people didn't wear clocks or read calendars, bells were rung to call villagers and townspeople to worship in churches.
Doves ๐๏ธ
In Christianity, the dove symbolises deliverance and God's forgiveness. It is also a symbol of the Holy Spirit, which comes from the Bible. Forgiveness and peace are also the spirit of Christmas, so the dove is also the symbol of Christmas.
Poinsettia๐บ
In the 17th century, the Franciscan priests in Taxco first used the shrub in the Nativity procession. Poinsettia was thus honoured as the flower of the Holy Night.
Red and green ๐โค๏ธ
Red and green are the theme colours of Christmas: red represents the blood of Jesus Christ, and green represents the leaves of the evergreen tree, which symbolises eternal life.
Christmas snow globe ๐ฎ
Because crystal ball toys are made to capture the most beautiful moments, during Christmas we often see crystal ball snow scenes of the birth of a baby Jesus and Santa Claus delivering presents on a snow deer.

6 Christmas Symbols and what they mean
Christmas Trees
There is a touching and popular story about the emergence of the Christmas tree, inspired by an artist's prints: One late evening, the German Reformer Martin Luther was walking in the forest near his home. As he looked up, he saw stars twinkling in the branches of a cedar tree. Inspired, he cut down a small fir tree, erected it in his house, and placed a lit candle between the branches. Starting in Germany, the Christmas tree became an important symbol of Christmas in Europe and America.
Christmas Star โญ๏ธ
The star on the Christmas tree is known as the Star of Bethlehem, symbolising the fact that in the Bible the Three Wise Men of the East were led by a new star in the sky to Jesus Christ.
Christmas Wreath ๐ต๏ธ
The evergreen wreath became a symbol of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his ultimate victory over death, thus representing eternal life.
Red-Nosed Reindeer๐ด
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is teased and ridiculed by the other reindeer because of his rare glowing red nose. One Christmas Eve, when Santa Claus is caught in a blizzard while delivering presents, the red-nosed reindeer's glowing nose serves as a guide for Santa to deliver the presents.
Christmas Robins
The tradition began in Victorian times, when postmen of the Royal Mail wore bright red uniforms and delivered these cards at Christmas. Artists painted red robins on Christmas cards instead of postmen delivering letters.
Candy Cane๐ซ
In 1670 a German choir leader commissioned a candy shop to make sweets for the children in their church to keep them quiet. The rod symbolises the story of Jesus Christ as a shepherd. The interesting red and white hook shape has also become a popular Christmas symbol.

Year-round Festivals Series 45 - Christmas Eve - Let's set up the Christmas tree!
In most European and American countries, Christmas Eve, 24 December, is one of the most important celebrations of the Christmas season.
Little angels, red bows, lit candles, golden stars, and twinkling little light bulbs fill the Christmas tree. Christmas Eve is traditionally the day to set up the Christmas tree, but with the early start of Christmas activities, Christmas trees are already being set up in the United States after Thanksgiving.
Modern Christmas trees originated in Central Europe, particularly in Estonia, Germany and Latvia. It was during the early Renaissance in Europe. It is said that the Protestant reformer Martin Luther was the first to light a candle on an evergreen tree.
Nowadays, Christmas trees are made of plastic for environmental reasons, and the materials used to decorate them are the inspiration of many designers and artists. The variety of Christmas trees today is overwhelming.
When a Christmas tree is lit up in a city, it is a sign that the city's Christmas celebrations are about to begin!
"Silent Night, Holy Night"
The name of the Chinese holiday, Christmas Eve, originated from a very popular traditional Christmas carol called "Silent Night".
The song was written in German by Joseph Mohr and composed by Franz Xaver Gruber, the headmaster of an Austrian primary school. The song has been translated into 44 languages and is one of the most popular Christmas songs. It is the most popular Christmas song, and people sing it naturally, even without musical accompaniment. The song was first performed on 24 December 1818 at the local church of St. Nicholas in Oppendorf, Austria.
For two thousand years, people have celebrated Christmas to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. However, the Bible has never recorded the day on which Jesus Christ was born, the only thing that is certain is that He was born at night.
In the first chapter of the Gospel of Matth
Year-round Festivals Series 44 - Advent and the start of the Christmas markets!
As December approaches, the Christmas atmosphere in the city starts to grow more intense. Many people choose to travel to Europe to experience the snowy winter weather and a very different Christmas atmosphere from Asia!
Have you ever visited a Christmas market in a European town? Christmas markets are held in European towns and cities from 1 December until Christmas Eve.
Christmas is a time for family reunion in Europe, just like the Chinese Winter Feast or the Chinese New Year. The Christmas market that ends on Christmas Eve also reminds me of the flower market in Hong Kong that ends on the night of the 30th day of the Lunar New Year. The two markets are also convenient for people to do shopping before the family reunion, not only for food, but also for decorative items for the home.
The earliest Christmas market dates back to the late Middle Ages in German-speaking Europe. Christmas markets can be linked to the celebration of Advent, a four-week Christian festival, and have become a popular custom throughout Europe and the United States.
In Germany, Switzerland and Austria, the beginning of the Christmas markets also symbolises the arrival of Advent. Christmas markets are usually held in the city centre, selling food, drink and seasonal goods, accompanied by singing and dancing.
The world's first Christmas market was the Striezelmarkt in Dresden, Germany, first held in 1434. Nowadays, the world's first Christmas market has grown to a very large scale. The vast city centre with 240 Christmas stalls attracts more than two million visitors from all over the world. The large Christmas markets in Frankfurt and Stuttgart also attract three million visitors a year.
The most fascinating things to see at a Christmas market are the exquisite handmade artisan carvings, the farmer's meats and the wide range of sausages and game. Popular attractions such as nativity scenes and stalls selli
Happy Canada Day! ๐
Woohoo! Time to party and celebrate the diverse and vibrant spirit of Canada! ๐โจ From coast to coast, we're here to honor our awesome history, culture, and achievements that make Canada a total rockstar of inclusivity and opportunity. ๐ So, let's take a moment to know more about this amazing country!
.
๐กFun Fact๐ก
Did you know that there is an area in the Hudson Bay region of Canada where gravity is slightly weaker compared to the rest of the planet?! ๐
.
It's called the "Hudson Bay Gravity Anomaly" or the "Hudson Bay Lowlands Gravity Anomaly." ๐ Scientists found out that the force of gravity is about 0.005% lower in that area. Why? Well, during the ice age, massive ice sheets covered parts of North America, including Hudson Bay๐. The heavy ice pushed the Earth's crust down. As the ice melted ๐ป, the crust started bouncing back, but it's not done yet! This rebound has caused a slight reduction in gravity in the Hudson Bay area. How cool is that?!
.
So, whether you're soaking up the breathtaking landscapes, munching on delicious poutine, or diving into the wildest festivities, let's give props to every Canadian who has played a part in our nation's success. ๐ ๐ Gather your friends and family, and let's have a blast! ๐๏ธโค๏ธ Together, we'll rock a future where kindness, equality, and innovation rule the day. ๐๐ค
