近些年，中国人尤其是年轻一代越来越重视西方节日，特别是圣诞节、情人节，而对本土的节日特别是春节、七夕节的兴趣有所淡化。有人认为这是“文化入侵Culturalinvasion”，斥责那些接受“洋节”的人“崇洋媚外worshipandhaveblindfaithinforeignthings”。另一部分人则认为这种情形是中西文化交流与融合combinationscombinations的正常表现，在中国人接受外国节日的同时，外国人也在接受中国的节日，我们没有必要为此过分担心。文化背景的不同 中国的主要传统节日都是由岁时节令岁时节令转换而来的，具有浓厚的农业色彩。而西方的传统节日大多来源于基督教基督教，带有浓厚的宗教色彩。从辞源学上看，“节”最初在汉字中是指植物叶与枝交接的部位，引申为季节、节气，随后又引申出节日的意义。而在英语中，“节日”(holiday/holyday)一词本义就是“神的日子”，或者“献身宗教的日子”。中西方节日起源的不同反映了二者背后两种不同的文化。一种是农业文化，一种是基督教文化。二十四节气二十四节气

中国传统节日文化体现了儒家的集体主义，西方传统节日文化体现了个人主义。中华民族数千年的农耕文明及其以血缘、家庭为纽带的内向型经济模式，决定了中国文化的集体主义价值取向。纵观中国传统节日活动，大多展现出中华民族强烈的宗族家庭观念和社会群体观念。各节日无不以家族、家庭内部活动为中心以家族、家庭内部活动为中心。如年节、元宵节、中秋节等节日民俗对阖家团圆主题的凸现等等。西方文化奉行个人本位，以自我为中心，重个人，重竞争，注重人的人格和尊严。西方的节日文化更侧重于个人与个人之间的关系侧重于个人与个人之间的关系，特别是个人与个人之间的关心、友爱和亲情。西方的节日文化，十分注重个人性格的张扬与个人情感的表达注重个人性格的张扬与个人情感的表达。Fashion
