Christmas

Christmas is perhaps the biggest Christian holiday celebrated around the world. It's usually celebrated on the 25th December by the majority of Christians, with Orthodox Christians celebrating Christmas after New Year's.

Christmas is steeped in many traditions and practices around the world, that have been celebrated over the centuries. But many of today's Christmas traditions come from Germany and England, that have been also imported into the US and Canada.

It's the time of families' get together, shopping and exchanging gifts; time when you remember your loved ones - those close to you and those far away.

But most time spent on Christmas things happens before Christmas, often starting as early as in October. These preparations include gift shopping and gift baskets organizing, as well as looking for Christmas tree ornaments.
