In Hong Kong, Chinese Christians celebrate Christmas with Church
services in Chinese. At the Anglican Cathedral, some services are held in
English, because Europeans who live and work in Hong Kong attend them as well
as people from Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, people also send Christmas cards, many of which are home made using Chinese craft techniques.
Poinsettias flowers and Nativity scenes decorate homes, churches and public places, as well as big red
and gold letters from the Chinese alphabet on decorated streamers and paper
chains.
In Hong Kong, Father Christmas or Santa Claus, is known as "Sing Daan Lou Yan" (Christmas Old Man) in
Cantonese or "Sheng Dan Lo Ren" in Mandarin. Most people in Hong Kong
speak Cantonese and would use "Sing Daan Lou Yan".
Every year in Hong Kong there is a 'Winterfest'. It's a huge winter
party that involves the shops, theme parks and other attractions in Hong Kong.
