December 25 Christmas is the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Different families celebrate Christmas differently depending on their denominations and family traditions.
Many families attend church services.
Catholics attend midnight mass, and Protestants attend candlelight services. Others begin using advent calendars and wreaths at the first of December, or indulge their younger children in the stories of Santa Claus. Although some put presents under the tree as soon as they are wrapped, others place them there on Christmas Eve. A star at the top of the tree represents the Star of Bethlehem, and an angel represent angels looking over the nativity. Tet is the Vietnamese celebration of the New Year during which it is believed the spirits of the celebrants dead ancestors come to visit them.
