Christmas

Christmas is celebrated on December 25 every year. It is a Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and is traditionally characterised by tinsel-decorated trees, mince pies, present-giving and a turkey dinner. Families come together to eat, drink, be merry and argue over TV choices, and children look forward to a visit from Santa Claus and his sack of presents.
