Are you bored on Christmas ?
In my country, Japan, New Year's Day is the most important event.
Whole atmosphere is just like Christmas in Europe.
It is a holy day and everybody try to spend the day peacefully.
But to be honest, I didn't like New Year's Day.
I had to visit the relatives for greeting or if I didn't, I just stayed at home watching TV.
All shops were closed. Very very boring.
Now, I am in Europe.
And I have realized the same things on Christmas at least in Hungary, too.
My family usually have big meal on Christmas Eve.
We don't visit the relatives on the next days.
We don't go to the downtown, either, because everything is closed.
So we usually go to the hill for a walk on Christmas.
And every year, we find plenty of people walking there just like us !
They are all bored at home and come for a walk rather than stay at home.
I am sure that many people are quite bored on Christmas.
I can tell it because I am now downloading a film on iTunes.
And it is soooooooooooo SLOW !!
I am sure that many people are trying to download films for holidays just like me !
Well, I wish you a happy Christmas, everyone !
Don't be bored ! :p

It is true! I guess all the excitement is gone after opening presents and stuff. Then you just slouch around the house all day. We're going to make this year different, right? LOL!

haha... Welcome to see and know more about China! In Southern China, you can see Dragon dance and Lion dance during the Spring Festival. But I don't know the tradition in Northern China, it's also new to me. :)

We also celebrate the new year on Jan. 1st, it's also big day in China, but cannot compare with the Spring Festival. Take the holidays for example, there will be 1-3 days holiday in International new year, but about 7-15 days in Spring Festival. :)

@Tatiana You are right indeed ! Actually it is same in Tokyo or Yokohama (it is my hometown) although I have never had a walk in the downtown on New Years Day... I think you have the same feeling before or just after dawn, too! :D
