Sending apples to Christmas Eve is precisely because the "apple" of apples is homophonic with the "ping" of peace. People in China pay more attention to homophony. Apple's "Ping" and Ping 'an "Ping" are homophonic, which is the auspicious meaning of Apple's "Ping" in China. Therefore, it is a custom to send apples on Christmas Eve. Those who send apples on behalf of those who send apples wish those who accept apples a safe and sound new year.
The origin of sending apples on Christmas Eve was initiated by students in Guangzhou or Wuhan in the mid-1980s. At that time, the favored ones celebrated Christmas under the influence of foreign students and teachers, but they understood Christmas as a new year for foreigners. They added traditional elements of China to this festival. Eating apples on Christmas Eve means peace.

Origin of Christmas Eve:
Christmas Eve is also called Christmas Eve. That night, the whole family gathered in the living room to sing Christmas songs around the Christmas tree, give gifts to each other, share the joys and sorrows of a year's life, and express their blessings and love. In the evening, we will see a group of lovely boys or girls singing poems one after another to bring good news.
Later, people followed the example of angels and spread the news of the birth of Jesus everywhere on Christmas Eve. Until today, good news has become an indispensable program for Christmas.
