In this Mandarin episode, I talk about the perennial question: Do Chinese people celebrate Christmas?  I try to first define celebrate in terms of whether we treat Christmas as a religious holiday. If so, then most Chinese don't celebrate Christmas in that sense. However, if we broaden the concept of Christmas as a holiday celebration for friends and family to get together and have a good time, then a lot of Chinese do participate. If you celebrate Christmas in any shape or form, I wish you a Merry Christmas!
