In recent years, many young Vietnamese people have shown great interest in celebrating foreign festivals such as Christmas and Halloween. While some welcome this as a sign of openness, others are concerned that it may weaken traditional culture. In my opinion, adopting these celebrations is not necessarily harmful as long as people also preserve Vietnamese traditions.

On the one hand, celebrating foreign festivals can be positive. They provide young people with opportunities to enjoy new experiences, connect with global culture, and strengthen social bonds. For example, Halloween allows students to dress up, join parties, and practice creativity. Similarly, Christmas has become a joyful event that brings families and friends together, regardless of religion. These celebrations also support businesses, since shops and restaurants can attract more customers during festival seasons.

On the other hand, we must not ignore the risks. If young people only focus on foreign festivals, they may neglect traditional ones such as Tết or Mid-Autumn Festival. Over time, this could lead to a loss of cultural identity. Therefore, it is important for schools, families, and the media to encourage young generations to understand and value Vietnamese customs.

In conclusion, celebrating foreign festivals is not wrong. However, it should go hand in hand with efforts to maintain and promote our own traditions. In this way, Vietnamese culture can both develop and remain unique in the modern world.

Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois. From a young age, he loved drawing and storytelling. As a teenager, he studied art and even worked as an illustrator before moving into animation.

In the 1920s, Disney co-founded a small studio with his brother Roy. There, he created one of the most famous characters in history: Mickey Mouse. The success of Mickey’s first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie (1928), made Disney a household name. He continued to innovate with projects such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), the world’s first full-length animated film, followed by classics like Pinocchio, Dumbo, and Bambi.

Disney was not only an animator but also a visionary. In 1955, he opened Disneyland in California, a theme park that brought his stories to life and delighted children and adults alike. He dreamed of creating magical worlds where imagination had no limits.

Walt Disney passed away on December 15, 1966, but his legacy continues through Disney films, parks, and the company that bears his name. His creativity changed entertainment forever.
