在西方國(guó)家, 圣誕節(jié)的地位就跟中國(guó)的春節(jié)一樣重要。亦如我們中國(guó)的春節(jié)一樣, 西方人會(huì)在圣誕節(jié)回家和家人一起團(tuán)圓過(guò)節(jié)。正因如此, 西方國(guó)家的圣誕慶典活動(dòng)就和是我們中國(guó)的春晚一樣隆重。在瑞得福學(xué)生會(huì)的組織下，瑞得福國(guó)際學(xué)校于2020年12月16下午成功舉辦了一場(chǎng)盛大的圣誕慶典，全校師生歡聚一堂，共度美好時(shí)光。 In the Western Civilization, Christmas is as important as the Spring Festival in China. And like the Spring Festival, the family would gather for the celebration of Christmas. Therefore, a Christmas ceremony for the West is like the Spring festival Gala “Chun Wan” in China. And to celebrate Christmas, the RDFSG raised such a gala in RDFIS.
