Most of us in Taiwan didn't grow up celebrating Sheng4Dan4 Jie2(聖誕節) but we learned to celebrate it as a holiday(not officially, we don't have a day off during Christmas season) and I reckon people begin to celebrate Christmas because business men and women eyed the profitable business opportunity for it and established the popular culture or culture of commercialism of celebrating Christmas. The atmosphere of Christmas penetrates the island a month before it's even here: Christmas commodities such as plastic Christmas tree, Christmas lights, gifts, cards, costumes, parties and church or friends get-together dinners.
That being said, as Taiwanese people set out plans for Christmas with friends and classmates, how many of them really know the meaning of Christmas? Watch this video to be out and about Jhungli with Peggy! :)
