Diving into Mid-Autumn legends and customs
Watching the moon and eating mooncakes are some of the fun activities we do during the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year, people celebrate this traditional festival. The full moon stands for being together with friends and family.
Also, many popular legends and poems are about the moon. They all show how Chinese people appreciate the moon.
The most famous legend is about the lady Chang'e. Long ago, people said there were10 suns in the sky. Her husband Hou Yi shot down nine of them. The Empress of Heaven gave him a magic pill as a reward. This pill would make him live forever. However, Chang'e took the pill by accident. Then she flew to the moon and lived there forever.
Another legend tells the story of a woodcutter named Wu Gang. He had to cut down trees because he once made the Jade Emperor angry. But the magical tree kept growing back. So he had to work endlessly.
The moon inspires people to write poems. For example, Su Shi of the Song Dynasty wrote his famous The Mid-Autumn Festival,Tune: Prelude to Water Melody during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.
A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn't treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas.One Christmas Eve,Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
