How different cultures celebrate Christmas?
It's well known that many cultures don't celebrate Christmas or instead, they celebrate other holidays. That is why the following is a list of reasons why December 25th is a special date celebrated all over the world.
Muslims don't celebrate Christmas. What they commemorate is the Day of Ashura, during this time, they fast and in this way, they thank God for helping liberate the people of Israel from the Egyptian army. This celebration does not always coincide with Christmas dates, but in 2007 and 2011 it did.
For Buddhists, Christmas is celebrated because they also honor Christ as if he was a saint, since it’s believed that indeed was, bringing a doctrine of peace to the world. If you remember any other holiday, it can Hanukkah for sure.
