This annual holiday is celebrated every December 25th and marks the birth of Jesus. Christmas is observed throughout the Christian world, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular festival.

There are many traditional Christmas customs, including church celebrations, gift-giving, Christmas trees and lights, and of course mistletoe. Let's also not forget Santa Claus (also known as Father Christmas).
