Christmas is a holiday observed on December 25 when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. There are different Christmas customs and traditions around the world. For instance, in the UK and the USA primary school, which are reproductions of the religious story behind Christmas: when Jesus was born, a star appeared in the sky and showed the way to Bethlehem to three wise men who brought the baby gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Some Christmas traditions are also celebrated by non-Christians: exchanging gifts, Christmas cards, eating special meals and decorating Christmas trees with baubles, lights and tinsel. In many countries Santa Claus is associated with bringing gifts. He travels down the chimney on Christmas Eve and leaves the gifts under the Christmas tree. Santa Claus is based on a real person, St Nicholas, a 4^th century bishop from Myra in Turkey.

Many people around the world celebrate different holidays around Christmas time, for example Hannukah, which is a Jewish holiday, and Kwanzaa, which is an African-American holiday.
