November 28 Independence Day December 8 Mother's Day December 24 Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve (December 24), also known as "Christmas Eve", is one of the Christmas celebrations in most Christian societies. Christmas Eve is traditionally the day to decorate Christmas trees, but as Christmas celebrations begin early, for example, after Thanksgiving in the United States, many Christmas trees have been decorated weeks before Christmas. In the UK, Christmas Eve is sometimes regarded as a short day (rest in the afternoon) by banks and trading companies, like a weekday. The traditional church Christmas season begins on Christmas Eve. Unless it is Sunday (see Advent), the vigil is said to be on the morning of December 24. However, attending Christmas parties before midnight is not allowed. The Christmas season continues until January 4th, or if it is Saturday, until January 5th, when the Epiphany is celebrated. Traditionally, many Christians attend midnight Mass or gatherings on Christmas Eve, usually held in churches around the world to mark the beginning of Christmas Day. Some churches hold candlelight worship early in the evening, usually with a drama about the birth of Jesus, and a big meal, usually with turkey or ham as the main course. The traditional dish in Germany is roasted carp.
December 25 Christmas, also known as Christmas in Taiwan, is a traditional festival in the church calendar. It is a celebration day for Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. On Christmas Day, most Catholic churches hold midnight Mass on Christmas Eve on December 24, that is, in the early morning of December 25, while some Christian churches hold good news and then celebrate Christmas on December 25; while the Christmas celebration of the Orthodox Church, another major branch of Christianity, is held on January 7 every year. According to the Catholic Gospels, Jesus was born of Mary, the Virgin Mary of Bethlehem, who was pregnant with the Holy Spirit. Mary and her husband Joseph were on their way to the Roman census and register. Jesus 'birth appears to believers to be the fulfillment of the Jewish prophetic plan for the coming of Messiah, because Bethlehem was the home of Joseph's ancestor, David. Christmas is also a public holiday in the Western world and in many other places, such as Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and Singapore in Asia. But the exact date of Jesus 'birth is controversial.
