    1 We eat apples as it is some sort of Christmas tradition.

    2 Shops and restaurants are open.

    3 Santas in China play Saxophone.

    4 Thousands queue for church services, at night…

    5 Christmas trees…

    6 Alternative colour for Santa costumes…

    7 Everyone is out on the street.

    8 Everyone is shopping because everything is on massive discount, but it's not on the Boxing Day.

    9 It’s not a family time. It’s the time you spend with your mates taking selfies.

    10 Again… you can't have Christmas without food (not necessarily Christmas food).

    11 They are building the second SantaPark in Chengdu, China… OK, that actually sounds kind of awesome.
