Christmas is one of the most important winter holidays for many nations. Bright, solemn and beloved, it is very popular among children, making them feel the presence of a real miracle. And even adults do not mind throwing off the excessive seriousness and importance and plunging into a world of fairy tales and fantasies, gifts and greetings with their children.

                 

The holiday itself has many cultural characteristics. In a large part of the world Christmas is a bank holiday. There are even special days off for this holiday. It is usually celebrated with family, friends or just acquaintances. The main distinguishing features are the Christmas tree, Santa Claus or Father Christmas (generally the name of the "protagonist" of the holiday varies from country to country), poinsettias, various decorations (Christmas wreaths, garlands, stars, gift socks). The main colour scheme is considered to be green and red.
