what country you are from and how you celebrate Christmas?
I am from the Philippines and we celebrate Christmas here. Everywhere you go, you see a lot of "Parols", star-shaped ornament light hung in their home. Every street you want to see a lot of trimming and children caroling just to earn money. Since the Philippines is a Catholic country, we have a tradition of attending "noche Buena", where a barbecue challenge is the main dish with a lot of Desserts but only rich families can. The poor just eat bread or "champorado" or even noodles, but They are still fun. Christian, Catholic or Protestants, will attend an evening mass in their families exactly 12:00 NN so cities and towns and villages is even wouyld sleep. Non-Christians, Christmas this respect (for example, Muslims, Hindus and others) For example, Muslim schools throughout the Philippines suspend their studies as a sign of respect. But all I can say is Philippine share their love and happiness in God with their loved ones during Christmas. What about you?
I live in Turkey, a more secularly-run mostly Muslim country where we celebrate the New Year's ", ie the putting up "New Year's" trees, small children going to the mall to see "New Year's father," and listening to "New "Songs Year's. Happy The spirit is still there, and that's what counts, right?
