Christmas
Christmas is a Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25, celebrated religiously by Christians and culturally by many non-Christians. It symbolises love, joy and goodwill, marked by festive traditions like hanging lights, decorating trees, exchanging gifts and spending time with family. For many children, the most exciting custom is looking forward to a stealthy visit from Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, delivering gifts for them to open on Christmas morning.
