In recent years, festivals such as Christmas and Halloween have become increasingly popular among young Vietnamese people. Some welcome this trend, while others worry that foreign cultures may overshadow Vietnamese traditions. In my opinion, celebrating these festivals has more benefits than drawbacks.

Firstly, joining in global celebrations allows young people to broaden their horizons. Taking part in Christmas or Halloween helps them learn about Western customs, develop cultural awareness, and become more open-minded. In today’s world, where international exchange is common, understanding other cultures is an advantage.

Secondly, these festivals create joyful moments for young people. Halloween costumes, Christmas parties, and gift-giving activities offer opportunities for fun and social connection. They also bring new ideas for creative expression, which is especially appealing to students.

However, it is also important not to neglect Vietnamese traditions such as Tết, Mid-Autumn Festival, or Hung Kings’ Anniversary. By balancing both local and global celebrations, young people can enjoy the richness of cultural diversity without losing their roots.

In conclusion, celebrating foreign festivals is not harmful if young Vietnamese people also cherish their national traditions.

Walt Disney, born on December 5, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois, was a pioneer in the world of animation and family entertainment. From a young age, he showed great interest in drawing and storytelling. After serving briefly as an ambulance driver in World War I, Disney pursued a career in art and eventually founded his first animation studio.

In 1928, Disney introduced the world to Mickey Mouse, who quickly became a beloved cultural icon. His innovative use of synchronized sound in the short film Steamboat Willie transformed the animation industry. Over the years, Disney continued to create unforgettable characters and stories, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length animated feature film, released in 1937.

Disney’s vision extended beyond films. In 1955, he opened Disneyland in California, a theme park where imagination came to life. His creativity laid the foundation for the global Disney empire that continues to inspire joy in millions of people.

Walt Disney passed away on December 15, 1966, but his legacy of innovation, imagination, and wonder lives on, reminding us that dreams really can come true.
