How do foreigners view festival solar terms?

Recently, a farm in England can be said to be very popular, because he built his farm into a maze with a Christmas tree. With the time coming to 65438+February, the Spring Festival in the west is getting closer and closer, and their Christmas will be ushered in in 20 days. Earlier, the European Union announced that it would lift the existing epidemic prevention control during Christmas. They are allowed to have dinner with their relatives during Christmas. To tell you the truth, the news immediately shocked me. At this critical time, the EU has made such a bold decision. Britain, which has always opposed the EU, supported his decision this time and agreed to lift the ban at Christmas.

Many people may think that western countries are really willing to take a holiday. You know, the epidemic in COVID-19 has not completely disappeared, and it is getting worse in many countries. No, under such circumstances, people can still lift the ban, which can be said to be a great joy. Many people say that foreigners pay great attention to the atmosphere when they celebrate festivals. Indeed, this is mainly because there are no other festivals in their daily lives, and there is only one Easter and Christmas in a year. It's also a big festival, so we can get together. Moreover, western festivals are very different from ours. At first, the main purpose of their gathering was to pay homage to something. With the development of life now, they gradually changed into the present party form. But our festivals are different. Many important nodes every year, we actually have festivals. If you count carefully, in fact, the 24 solar terms are also festivals. When the number is large, we naturally don't care so much, and we don't pay attention to those external forms during the holidays. After all, the most important Spring Festival for us is that the family can sit together. The so-called festive atmosphere is not important, but it is also dispensable. For example, we have a lot now, and we would rather stay at home and chat with our families than go out to play.
