Which festivals do you like better, Chinese festivals or Western festivals?

Love our festivals Some western festivals are very interesting, but our Chinese traditional festivals are also meaningful(有意义的). We celebrate them to show our love to families. China is a big country with a long history, but we are losing(失去) our long tradition(传统) now. If we don't love our traditional festivals, they will disappear in the future.
