CHRISTMAS EVE
Christmas Eve is on December 24, marking the day before Xmas day. Almost all businesses close early to allow employees to travel and spend the holiday with their families. Some individuals organize choirs of singers who perform Christmas carols in public places or door-to-door carol presentations. Moreover, many kids worldwide hang their stockings at this time in anticipation of receiving a gift from Santa Claus.
CHRISTMAS DAY
Christmas is known as a religious holiday that is revered by many people and is an annual cultural event that takes place on December 25 every year. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and Christmas commemorates his birth. The term “Christmas” originates from an old English phrase, “Cristes maesse,” which means the mass of Christ.
People have been celebrating the holiday with customs and rituals that are both secular and religious for two millennia now. We enjoy the holiday in our own ways. Some like to join religious activities, like attending church. Besides, there are less formal activities, such as watching movies, baking cookies, or decorating Christmas trees.
NEW YEAR’S EVE
New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest global celebrations since it falls on the last day of the year, December 31. New Year’s Eve comes with mixed emotions. We greet the New Year and enjoy the end of the previous year. On the other hand, as we recall the events that occurred in the past 12 months, we get a feeling of nostalgia. The scale and style of New Year’s Eve celebrations might differ a lot. While some individuals go to traditional masquerade balls, others join costume parties. Some can have get-togethers or parties in their houses. The most exciting New Year’s Eve activity is counting down in the last seconds of the last day of the year to welcome the new one.
