When is Christmas?

Christmas is on December 25th every year, also known as Christmas, which commemorates the birth of Jesus. In the West, most Catholic churches will hold midnight mass on the evening of the 24th, some Christians will hold carols, and then celebrate Christmas on December 25th.
Christmas, also known as Jesus Christmas and Christmas, is a festival to commemorate the birth of Jesus. It is mainly scheduled on December 25, and on January 7 in the Eastern Church. Christmas is a public holiday in many countries and regions where Christianity is the mainstream culture. Outside of church settings, Christmas has become a folk festival and is often referred to as the "Christmas and holiday season" together with the Gregorian New Year, which has a similar date.

What to eat at Christmas:

1. Roast turkey <br /> Roast turkey is an indispensable dish on the traditional Christmas table. In some Asian countries, turkey may only be eaten on Christmas every year to celebrate the holiday; but in Europe and the United States, especially in the American continent, turkey is a very common meat, and on the two important days of Thanksgiving and Christmas, turkey is a traditional food.
2. Christmas salmon <br /> Just like Chinese people eat New Year's Eve dinner during the Spring Festival, Europeans and Americans also pay attention to family reunion during Christmas and have a festive meal together. Turkey is a must-have delicacy, and smoked ham, Christmas salmon, Christmas pudding and other delicacies will also be on the table. Salmon is a popular food and also a very healthy food. Fish is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, but low in fat. The fish flesh is orange and is a red-fleshed fish, but there are a small number of wild species with white flesh.
3. Smoked ham <br /> Smoked ham is probably the most traditional dish in Christmas dinner. Not only is it convenient to eat, it can also meet the needs of large numbers of people dining during festivals, and there is no need to worry even if there are leftovers. Smoked baked ham is often smeared with a sweet sauce, such as honey or cherry pomegranate sauce.
4. Red wine <br /> The reason for this tradition is that meat symbolizes the body of Jesus Christ, and red wine represents his blood. The suffering of Jesus on behalf of others and the pain of flesh and blood he endured when he was nailed to the cross should be remembered. There is a special way to drink Christmas red wine: add brown sugar, orange peel, tangerine, orange kernel, raisins and other ingredients to the wine, then heat it on the fire while stirring (be careful not to boil the pot), and finally pour a little vodka on it. After removing the pot from the heat, drink a glass. It is really fragrant and warm.
5. Christmas Cake <br /> Cake is an indispensable food for both daily and festive occasions, and Christmas is even more so. Chocolate is one of the main flavors of Christmas cakes. Almost every family will make chocolate-based cakes at this time. People often make Christmas cakes to be novel and beautiful. The words "Merry Christmas" are poured on top with cream or jam, and special Christmas candles are inserted around it.
6. Christmas pudding <br /> Christmas pudding is a festive food eaten at Christmas. Today's Christmas pudding originated from the traditional Christmas food milk porridge and dried fruit pudding. Therefore, although Christmas pudding does not contain prunes, it is also called dried fruit pudding and has become a new member of Christmas dishes. Traditionally, when Christmas comes, every family member works together to make a Christmas pudding, which symbolizes unity and harmony. While stirring the dough, everyone will silently make a wish and finally hide a coin in the dough.
7. Gingerbread <br /> Gingerbread is the most famous traditional Christmas food in Germany. There are two ways to say gingerbread in English. One is Gingersnap, which is easy to understand from the literal meaning of ginger + thin and crispy biscuit; and the other term comes from German, called Lebkuchen. In short, gingerbread is a small shortbread eaten at Christmas, usually made with honey, brown sugar, almonds, candied peel and spices.
