虽然圣诞节是从西方传入的节日，但圣诞节在中国的火爆程度绝不亚于其他国家。在中国，有平安夜给亲朋好友送苹果的习俗，这寓意着平安。因为苹果的“苹”与平安的“平”同音，于是就有了平安夜送苹果的习俗。而且这个习俗其实是中国人开创的，连外国人都对中国人的脑洞佩服的五体投地。

Although Christmas is a holiday from the West, it is also popular in China. In China, there is a custom of giving apples to others for good wishes on Christmas Eve, because apple in chinese sounds like 'fruit of safety. This custom is actually invented by the Chinese.
