Christmas

Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people worldwide. The traditional narrative recounts Jesus's birth in Bethlehem, with angels proclaiming this news to shepherds who then spread the word. The date of Jesus's birth is unknown, but it is believed to be near the winter solstice, which was fixed as December 25 in the early fourth century. Christians celebrate on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, but Eastern Christian Churches celebrate on January 7 in the same calendar. The holiday has a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular themes, including gift giving, decorations, and special meals.learn more on wikipedia
