Now I'm listening Last Chirstmas by Wham! (recommended by @Omar)
 
啊啊是谁都对:The version of Wham! seems quite sorrow. And the version of Taylor Swift is a kind of feeling that "though sorrow, I should stand up to open a new life."

This night I walked around after supper.

But unluckily, there are few shops that hold Chirstmas Events.

The street has no Chirstmas tree or decoration.

All as the same as ordinary days.

 
啊啊是谁都对:By the way, some colleges forbids students from going out of college in Dec 24th and 25th, lest they participated in Chirstmas events.

啊啊是谁都对:回复 @圆环之理:The colleges forbid students from attending these events.

As for the reasons, I am not sure

啊啊是谁都对:Welp, I read some pieces of news about Beijing's Chirstmas Festival...

I wonder why my district has no event like that?

A funny thing:

People in China give apples wrapped by colour papers each other to celebrate Christmas' Eve.

Because in Chinese, apple's pronunciation is "ping guo". The first word of it is "ping", which is the same as "ping" of "ping an" (safety, joy and peace in English)
