Which is Important, CHRISTMAS or NEW YEAR????

Since Christmas is not our traditional and official festival, so we can't have a day off. Whereas we can have a day off from the New Year. And the New Year means a lot. So I think the New Year is much more important as it stands for a new beginning. I love China

Within our family, Christmas is more celebrated than the new year. We can go somewhere else when it is new year but we must be complete during Christmas.

Hi Chow I prepare the most for Christmas (this Christmas I will be doing a lot of cooking I'm staying home with my family this year and I making quite a few dishes for dinner...I don't celebrate New Years for me its a drinking holiday and I don't drink nor do I watch the ball come down anymore like I used to do on New YearsEve because now I am sleeping at that time

Christmas is important. So, is New year. But, both are important but most of all, the thing with both is Christmas is for love and New year is for Change. So, both has equal weight.

i think christmas because of Jesus Christ. today it's about Him

hi, each of them have their own significant to us, Christmas is important because we celebrate the birth of our God, and New Year is important too because we welcome new year in our life. but people usually well prepare on new year. to make their life prosperity.

In my home country we have Christmas on 25th December and we have New Year's Eve on 31st December. Then we have New Year's Day on 1st January. The bank holiday happen to be Christmas Day, Boxing Day which is 26th December and New Year's Day. When I was studying in the Netherlands I found out Dutch people don't celebrate Christmas. Instead they celebrate Saint Nickolas Day on I think it is 6th December. Therefore I was able to celebrate that and then go home in late December to celebrate Christmas. I also remember Chinese New Year being celebrated in Malaysia when I was traveling there. Christmas is for people that believe in Jesus. He was born in a stable in Bethlehem. Now I can say I traveled to Israel and went to Bethlehem situated in the West Bank. I went inside the Church of the Nativity and had a look around. For me I think New Year is the special date. Christmas requires lots of preparation. Like buying presents and wrapping them up. I put up a Christmas tree. New Year doesn't need any preparation so I just enjoy it.

December is surely one of the most Important months of the year and I like it a lot. Out of Christmas and New year, New year is surely Important to me. In India Christmas is not given much preference and a lot of people don't celebrate Christmas. New year in India is celebrated by Everyone and most of the people celebrate it in the best way possible. I like New year more as compared to Christmas.

Christmas can be a wonderful time of the year. People seem to be so much more generous and giving to each other at Christmas than at any other time of the year.i hoping that this new year will bring a blessing to everyone here.

both are important date for someone who celebrate it... sometimes it become family gathering, if we able to use the moment wisely and prepare based on our need maybe become a good moment for us.. i hope for better opportunity in 2011, and more challenging

Obviously, they're both really important and really fun aswell! I think they're both great, just be with your family, loved ones, friends and have fun with eachother. I think I personally make more preperations for New Year, just because my parents make all the preperations for christmas, haha!
