Christmas Day
Christmas Day celebrates the birth of Jesus of Nazareth in the Christian faith. It is the culmination of Advent in the Western churches and the first day of the Christmas season. The customs attached to it vary widely, from midnight Mass and early-morning services in Catholic countries to a family lunch and gift-opening at home in Protestant and largely secular households, with carols, nativity scenes and decorated trees nearly everywhere. The date is the same in most countries, although the way it is observed differs a great deal between regions and denominations.
Over the centuries the holiday has also gathered many cultural layers that are not strictly religious, including regional dishes, festive markets and visits from gift-bringing figures such as Santa Claus, Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas. For a large share of people who do not practise Christianity, it is mainly a family and seasonal occasion, and in many countries it is the quietest day of the whole year. Regardless of belief, the day tends to bring a near total pause to normal commercial life, which is why travel and shopping plans around it need care.
