Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of a special person — Jesus.

• Exchange gifts and share good wishes
• Help others and spread joy
In traditional culture, on Christmas Eve, people go to church to sing songs to celebrate the coming birth of Jesus. These songs are called Christmas carols, and they are used to express happiness, gratitude, and love.
Many schools also invite children to perform plays about the birth of Jesus during the festive season and welcome parents to come and enjoy the performances.
