The observance of Christmas around the world varies by country. The day of Christmas, and in some cases the day before and the day after, are recognized by many national governments and cultures worldwide, including in areas where Christianity is a minority religion. In some non-Christian areas, periods of former colonial rule introduced the celebration (e.g. Hong Kong); in others, Christian minorities or foreign cultural influences have led populations to observe the holiday.



Observance of Christmas in various locations around the world

Christmas traditions for many nations include the installing and lighting of Christmas trees, the hanging of Advent wreaths, Christmas stockings, candy canes, setting out cookies and milk, and the creation of Nativity scenes depicting the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas carols may be sung and stories told about such figures as the Baby Jesus, St Nicholas, Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Christkind or Grandfather Frost. The sending and exchange of Christmas card greetings, observance of fasting and special religious observances such as a midnight Mass or Vespers on Christmas Eve, the burning of a Yule log, and the giving and receiving of presents are also common practice. Along with Easter, Christmas is one of the most important periods on the Christian calendar, and is often closely connected to other holidays at this time of year, such as Advent, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, St Nicholas Day, St. Stephen's Day, New Year's, and the Feast of the Epiphany.[1]

День благодарения - это День воссоединения семьи!

День благодарения-это семейный праздник. Он отмечается

в 4-й четверг ноября. Это особый день для всех американских семей. В этот день члены семьи собираются на ужин. Это День воссоединения семьи, и дети не ходят в школу! Каждый год мои бабушка и дедушка приезжают из Флориды и по

сей день вместе. Мама готовит жареную индейку, индийскую кукурузу и тыквенный пирог, который является главным блюдом Дня благодарения. Я ей накрыть на стол и украсить его цветами и свечами. После ужина мы смотрим футбол и просматриваем наш фотоальбом. Затем мой дедушка рассказывает истории о

том, как мои бабушка и дедушка говорят, что мы должны сохранить эту традицию. В этот день все члены семьи говорят за все хорошее, что у них есть, и говорят “извините”.
