In Chinese Christmas customs, Santa Claus is commonly referred to as Dun Che Lao Ren. This name means "old Christmas guy." Children hang muslin stockings for Dun Che Lao Ren to fill with gifts. Alternatively, some Chinese individuals refer to Santa as Lan Khoong-Khoong, which translates as "good old father." They believe that he lives in a house at the top of the mountain with his family. Lao Rhen is the Chinese name for Saint Nicholas. He was an Orthodox Christian bishop who was venerated as a saint after his death. Today, many Chinese people remain faithful to his memory by giving gifts to children on December 6 (his feast day). Lao Jiao is the Chinese name for Christmas. It comes from the word "Xiaojin," which means "little Christmas" or "winter solstice." Thus, Christmas in China occurs around the time of the winter solstice, which falls between November 23 and January 20. During this period, the days are getting longer and the nights are getting shorter. Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday season in China. It is held every year on the spring equinox (according to the lunar calendar), which usually falls on or around February 4. The new year brings families together and starts out with a holiday week-end. This annual event is known as "Chun Yee" in Chinese culture.
