Mona's family did not want to get a Christmas tree because her family to conform to the American standards; but instead, they try to hold on to their Chinese heritage. This question goes along with the quote "Chinese get lost in the the depart-o-ment-o store" because it shows that her family is desperately trying to hold on to the little bit of culture that they still have. Chinese culture has become more important to Helen and Ralph than Callie and Mona because Callie and Mona do not have the same attachment to China as their parents.
