Christmas is both a sacred religious
holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two millennia,
people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices
that are both religious and secular in nature. Christians celebrate Christmas
Day as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader
whose teachings form the basis of their religion. Popular customs include
exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals
with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.
December 25--Christmas Day--has been a federal holiday in the United States
since 1870.
