Christmas

Christmas is a religious and cultural holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. This holiday is celebrated on December 25th among billions of people worldwide. Celebrating Christmas Eve is the main focus in several countries rather than Christmas Day. Popular customs include gift giving, a special meal, Christmas carols, decorations, cards, Christmas trees, church services, etc. As cheery as the holiday sounds, it is usually controversial. Christmas is increasingly censored and avoided in schools and other public places that might take offense to it.
