What generations celebrate Christmas Day?

Before 1995, Christmas was a strange celebration for many religious people. In Hanoi, at that time, the Christmas atmosphere only appeared in churches. The concept of giving Christmas gifts, sending blessing and wishes at that time was not what the majority of people did (except for Catholics). The change began to appear when the generation born in the 80s came to the throne.

The Red Christmas hat was used as an indispensable accessory on Christmas Eve

If the generation born in the 70s were considered to be the hinge of positive changes in society, the generation born in 80s were considered to drive innovation. It was the generation born in 80s that brought Christmas into homes. They joined the Catholics, went to the church, put on Santa's red top hats, and joyfully welcomed the birth of God.

Father Dac Lo - Father Alexandre de Rhodes, along with four pastors and a Japanese believer, arrived in Hoi An in the 16th century to bring the catholic religion into Vietnam which created the national language today.

Looking back at the history of the old Christmas occasions in Vietnam

Christmas is the day Jesus was born - He is considered God, the supreme being, representing faith, strength, peace and protection for Catholics. Catholicism came to Vietnam in the 16th century (1533), at the same time as the song We wish you a merry Christmas. Christmas in Vietnam is usually celebrated on December 24, the last day of the Advent season before Jesus' birth.

The person who celebrated the first Christmas in Vietnam was Minh Duc Vuong Thai Phi - wife of Lord Nguyen Hoang. She joined Catholicism in 1625 and was given the name Saint Martin. Before coming to Catholicism, she was a devoted Buddhist. When she started to follow Catholicism, she was devoted herself to Catholicism. Father Dac Lo was a witness of her religious life: “During my time here, I met her. For 28 years, she has remained in the full practice of Catholic virtues. She used wise words to make many people who were very devoted to Buddhism in the country return to the Catholic faith, among which are relatives of Lord Nguyen. Today she is still the refuge of all of our missionaries.

During the Christmas season many shopping malls are filled.

Positive things that Christmas can bring are

Economic integration, this is due to the fact that Christmas is firstly very popular and is celebrated all over the world. In addition to ritual activities, beliefs, Christmas stimulates shopping promotions to boost the customers needs.

Not only in countries that have Catholicism as the national religion, even in Vietnam, images of Christmas appear flooded on signs, banners, pop-ups, from POSM to online advertising. Christmas is a "harvest" for anyone doing business, especially in consumer goods.

For professionals such as office workers, Christmas is an opportunity to show interest in friends and colleagues, especially for young people who are still single. There will be no better opportunity for the couple to hold hands and walk, enjoy the atmosphere, watch emotional films on Christmas Eve.

Young families will have a fun day and temporarily forget the busy year-end. There will be crowds in bars and restaurants, but it is this crowding that creates the warm atmosphere of Christmas.

Children are eager to write to Santa Claus. Small gifts will create joy to the children. And for the generation of students now, it's not just a gift, it is also a time where parents can reward  their children for working hard in their dedicated educational institutions.

Electromechanical contractors create Christmas for all via street lights being displayed at night.

Christmas with electrical and mechanical contractors

Due to the professional characteristics the electromechanical contractors have, instead of smiling with the family during dinner time, they’d rather enjoy sweating. Their jobs, like it or not, still have to cling to the construction site. This is both a responsibility and a binding task with the investor - these are the people who spend money and the important friend of any M&E unit.

A delay, even an hour only, may be considered a breach of contract. No one can smile if the work is not completed. Therefore, the joy of electrical and mechanical engineers, of the craftsmen on Christmas day is the quality, light, the roar of the engines they connect on the construction sites.

The hard work that the contractor does will pay off with laughter in the family. No happiness is equal to the warmth that a wife and a child give to their father whenever they bring a smile to their family.

Galaxy M&E wishes a merry Christmas to everyone
