Christmas Day 圣诞节 
Christmas Day, which is the most festive time for many people, falls on December 25th on which Christian people believe Jesus Christ was born. This is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the United States, which is full of joy and gaiety, love and laughter, hospitality and good will.
The sweet melody of “Silent Night, Holy Night” often makes people far away from their family feel nostalgic. Those who cannot join the family will send a Christmas card home to express greetings of the season. At home family and friends gather to sing Christmas songs and play games.
Children are kept busy with gifts they believe to be brought to them by Santa Claus. Christmas dinner may be similar to Thanksgiving dinner; candy and fruitcake are especially associated with this holiday. Though Christmas is now celebrated widely the world over, it still maintains its “home, sweet home” flavor.
Although Christmas is religious in origin, many of the customs and celebrations are no longer religious. Among them, the most popular ones are as follows: exchanging gifts; sending Christmas cards; receiving gifts from Santa Claus.
