Christmas is which country's holiday ah?

Christmas is a traditional Western holiday that originated in Christianity, and today we'll talk about the origin of Christmas.

On December 25th of the Gregorian calendar every year, it is the day when Christians commemorate the birth of Jesus, which we call Christmas. The name Christmas is an abbreviation of the Christian Mass, which is a liturgical service in the Christian Church. Christmas is a religious holiday that we celebrate as the birth of Jesus, hence the name.

On this day, all Christian churches around the world hold special services, but there are many Christmas celebrations that are not remotely related to religion. On Christmas Day, people often exchange gifts, send Christmas cards, and so on, all of which make Christmas a day of universal celebration.
