Chrismas in China is relatively new. Chrismas in Chinese is “Shèng dàn Jié” – It means the birthday of the Sant festival. Here is how to write Merry Christmas in Chinese character:
Chrismas is not a public holiday in China and since there are only about 2% of the Chinese population are Christian, so it is not a religious festival as well.
Chrismas in China is purely a day for fun and mostly for young people. Shopping, eating and entertainment. It is very commercial now.
