The holiday is marked by festive celebrations, including gift-giving, religious services, and family gatherings.

Early Christians adopted these traditions and adapted them to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The first written mention of Christmas is in a 354 AD letter from Pope Liberius. By the 5th century, Christmas was widely celebrated in the Christian world.
