maybe last Thursday or Friday, when i had talk with my friends, i realized that the christmas is coming, well there still over a month time to it i really can't wait for it.
In China, chrismas is still not a public holiday, until recent years, the school and college student may get half day off on chrismas day. even though, except the half day off, i didn't feel its a holiday, there's no chrismas gift, no chrismas dinner and no such nice dressing in the house or the beautiful lights on the street. the chrismas in 2003 was my first chrismas in cork, i was really impressed.
The Chinese new year usually falls in between the middle of Jan and the end of Feb according to the lunar calender. I think for the reason of Chinese people is small population in Ireland, so there is no big public celebration and even no off day for the new year. its pitty, so by the time i stay here longer, i still look forward the Chinese new year but not as much as in China. So, the chrismas became more and more popular to me personally, visiting friends, have nice party, nice dinner and all other celebrations.
By the way, one thing i hated is that the exams are around the chrismas time, i don't mind its before or after chrismas, if i have enough time to study for the exam, i will be ok.
