What is it?
Christmas is an annual holiday falling on December 25, honouring and celebrating the birth of Jesus.
When is it celebrated?
Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population but is also celebrated by many non-Christians usually because of its cultural status and its winter-related traditions.
In the UK, a traditional Christmas dinner includes roast turkey with gravy and mashed potatoes along with boiled vegetables like brussel sprouts, carrots, and cauliflower! It is also common to have some Christmas pudding with custard and brandy to warm up during the cold winter season!
Symbolism
Modern customs of the holiday include exchange of gifts, church celebrations and the display of various decorations including the Christmas tree, lights, mistletoe and holly. The jolly mythological figure Santa Claus or Father Christmas is also a major aspect of Christmas – he is believed to reward good kids with gifts!
