The Christian children of China decorate trees with colorful ornaments. These ornaments are made from paper in the shapes of flowers, chains and lanterns. They also hang muslin stockings hoping that Christmas Old Man will fill them with gifts and treats.
The Chinese Christmas trees are called "Trees of Light." Santa Claus is called Dun Che Lao Ren which means "Christmas Old Man.".
The non-Christian Chinese call this season the Spring Festival and celebrate with many festivities that include delicious meals and pay respects to their ancestors. The children are the main focus of these celebrations, they receive new clothes and toys, eat delectable food and watch firecrackers displays.
Hope this helps.

Since the majority of Chinese are not Christian they have no "Christmas traditions."
Chinese New Year is when their celebrations and gift giving take place. The tradition of this Chinese holiday predates both Christianity and Christmas.

Christmas is Christian, and most Asians are Hindus, or Budhists. I don't think they celebrate X-Mas
