About Christmas
Christmas is celebrated by millions of people all over the world. For Christians, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and is observed on December 25th or among Eastern Orthodox, January 6th.
In 1870, the U.S. Congress made it a federal holiday making it a secular celebration that many non-practicing Christians celebrate as a family holiday. It is a holiday that is based on traditions, for Christians many traditions are faith based while others have their own traditions. Though many people celebrate Christmas in different ways, Christmas is a universal holiday with many universal traditions that brings people and families together in the spirit of giving and spending time with the ones they love.
