- New Year -

New Year's Eve or Old Year's Night is observed on December 31, the final day of the Gregorian year, the day before New Year's Day. New Year's Eve is a separate observance from the observance of New Year's Day.


New Year's Eve is celebrated universally December 31 according to the year numbering of the CE (Common Era), or AD (Anno Domini) convention, even in non-Christian nations. Traditional and religious celebrations for e.g. the Muslim and Jewish new year, which occur on different dates, are still celebrated separately in the cultures that observe them, on the appropriate dates each year.


In modern practice, fireworks, music, alcoholic beverages and other forms of noise making is part of the New Year's Eve celebration. New Year's Eve is celebrated with parties and social gatherings spanning the transition of the year at midnight.

Christmas Day

The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Christemasse and Old English Cristes mæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038. "Cristes" is from Greek Christos and "mæsse" is from Latin missa (the holy mass). In Greek, the letter Χ (chi), is the first letter of Christ, and it, or the similar Roman letter X, has been used as an abbreviation for Christ since the mid-16th century. Hence, Xmas is sometimes used as an abbreviation for Christmas. During Christmas, they exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees.

Gift Giving

The custom of exchanging gifts to relatives and friends on a special day in winter probably began in ancient Rome and northern Europe. In these areas, people give gifts on each other as part of the celebration of the end of the year. In 1100, in many European countries, Saint Nicholas became the symbol of gift giving. According to legend, Saint Nicholas brings gifts to children on the night before the celebrations, on December 6. The characters who are not religious replaced Saint Nicholas in various countries shortly after the reform, and Dec. 25 became the day to exchange gifts. Now in the United States, Santa Claus brings presents to children.


Exchanging Gifts, Sending Greeting Cards
This activity has become popular since the 1800s. Christmas songs, called carol, sung and played during the holidays. Become popular since the 1800s. Decorating the house. Most Americans decorate the Christmas tree, the pine tree or artificial tree, in their homes. The lights and the circle of leaves from trees four seasons, mistletoe and Christmas greeting placed inside and outside many homes. Become popular since the 1800s.


Christmas Dinner
Often with a turkey. In addition, many of which held a feast just before and after Christmas.


Santa Claus
Santa Claus comes from the old story about a Christian named St. Nicholas and the Norwegian god named Odin. Migrants have brought Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas to the United States. His name was gradually changed to Santa Claus, the Dutch name for Father Christmas to the fourth century, Sinter Claas. Although the origin of the mythology of Norway before Christianity, just a figure of Santa Claus we know today in the United States. The Americans gave a white beard, dressed in red clothes and make him a cheery old with red cheeks and light in his eyes. Santa Claus is a mythical figure who is said to live in North Pole, where he makes toys all year round.

Charity
Christmas is also a time when Americans show generosity to those less fortunate. Money sent to hospitals and orphanages or created a special fund to help indigent miskin. Xmas is traditionally a time to stop all kinds of battle and strife.

A Christmas Tree
The Christmas tree is a decorated evergreen coniferous tree, real or artificial, and a tradition associated with the celebration of Christmas. The tradition of decorating an evergreen tree at Christmas started in Livonia and Germany in the 16th century. The Christmas tree is traditionally brought into the home and decorated with Christmas lights (originally candles), ornaments, garlands, tinsel, and candy canes during the days around Christmas. An angel or star is placed at the top of the tree, representing the host of angels or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity.

A special Christmas family meal is traditionally an important part of the holiday's celebration, and the food that is served varies greatly from country to country. Some regions, such as Sicily, have special meals for Christmas Eve, when 12 kinds of fish are served. In England and countries influenced by its traditions, a standard Christmas meal includes turkey, meat, gravy, potatoes, vegetables, sometimes bread and cider. Special desserts are also prepared, such as Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cake. In Poland and other parts of eastern Europe and Scandinavia, fish often is used for the traditional main course, but richer meat such as lamb is increasingly served. In Germany, France and Austria, goose and pork are favored. Beef, ham and chicken in various recipes are popular throughout the world.
