B)Compare and contrast between Jess' experience with his family during Christmas and my experience during Chinese New Year:

-The similarities between these two festivals are that both the events are joyous events to look forward to, families would be busy preparing for food and decorating the house for the festivals , families get to spend time together to celebrate the festival and sing joyous songs, people get to receive things as a form of greeting from others and many people are celebrating these two festivals.

-The differences between these two festivals are that during Chinese New Year, people who are young and not married would receive ang pao(chinese red packets) from the adults as a form of blessing, but during Christmas day, people of all ages exchange presents as a form of greeting. And also, instead of visiting our relatives just like us in Chinese New Year, Jess went to the church to sing with other people there instead. Plus, Chinese New Year's popular colour is red as it stands for prosper, while Christmas's colour are joyous colours like blue and green. Chinese New Year is also the first day of a year in the chinese calander, but Christmas day is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ.
