Do We Need to Fear the Popularity of Christmas?

Nowadays Christmas Day is becoming more and more popular with Chinese youngsters. They celebrate and enjoy it in various ways. Meanwhile they don’t know and don’t care much about the traditional Chinese festivals. Some people are worrying that the increasing popularity of Christmas might take people's attention away from traditional festivals in China. As far as I’m concerned, there is no need to have fears over culture expansion. Youngsters are interested in new things, but it doesn't mean they are turning their backs on Chinese traditional culture.

However, we should stay cool while celebrating western festivals. We should bear in mind the cultural values of celebrating our own traditional festivals, for if we let our traditions disappear, there will be a cultural gap, which Western values may fill. (128 words)
