Christmas and New Year

Christmas and New Year

Christmas
Christmas is a day, a special day, which is celebrated by Christians. It is the birth of Jesus Christ so it is a religous and a cultural celebration. It is the 25th of December and lasts until new year.
The symbols and decorations of Christmas are:
 Pine tree, stars, angels, red or green clothes, reindeers, cane sugar, socks, bells, mitletoe, Santa Claus, presents.

New Year
New Year is the time, whenwe begin to a new calendar. It is commonly 1st of January but some contries use different calendar, so their new year is different from us. We celebrate, eat and have fun during the night, which connects 31st December to 1st January and we give presents each other.
 Actually new year hasn't got its own symbol or decoration. The people who celebrate new year, took the decorations and symbols from Christmas.
