In Taiwan, Christmas Day is not a public holiday, but it used to be. In Taiwan, 25th December is not only Christmas Day but also a Constitution Day. Until several years ago, everyone got the day off. However, since we started a two-day weekend, the day off was given the axe. Even though it is not a holiday, Christmas Day is still festive, you can hear Christmas carols playing in department stores and other places. Many people in Taiwan love having a Christmas dinner at a restaurant to celebrate Christmas, but I like staying home and relaxing with my family. I love going to a traditional market or a surpermarket to buy a lot of vegetables, and having hot pot with my family on Christmas Eve. Putting on thick clothing and having hot pot in winter is heart-warming. To me, this is the best Christmas Eve.

Please ignore the first person - it does need correcting.

Sorry this is totally wrong.

There are some silent Hs in english but all the above examples are wrong.

If it is a silent H you should never ever say it. Such as ghost, honour.

If not, you should always say it! Such as he, have.

Firas: chat with my friends

Or chat to my friend

Both ok natural

It means nothing fancy. So not a three course meal or a candle lit event. And after you've finished you'll probably leave quite soon rather than chatting for an hour or two. Just a quick meal. Not necessarily fast food though and definitely not eating fast.
