Christmas Customs & Traditions

This section explains how many different Christmas Customs and Christmas Traditions came into being, how they are celebrated and what they represent in Christmas.

You can find out why Christmas is celebrated on 25th December, why we have Christmas Trees and send each other Christmas Cards and even Santa's real name!
