在西方國家, 圣誕節的地位就跟中國的春節一樣重要。亦如我們中國的春節一樣, 西方人會在圣誕節回家和家人一起團圓過節。正因如此, 西方國家的圣誕慶典活動就和是我們中國的春晚一樣隆重。在瑞得福學生會的組織下，瑞得福國際學校于2020年12月16下午成功舉辦了一場盛大的圣誕慶典，全校師生歡聚一堂，共度美好時光。 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.
