Christmas Observances
The observance of\xa0Christmas\xa0around the world varies by country. The day of Christmas, and in some cases\xa0the day before\xa0and\xa0the day after, are recognized by many national governments and cultures worldwide, including in areas where\xa0Christianity is a minority\xa0religion. In some non-Christian areas, periods of former colonial rule introduced the celebration (e.g.\xa0Hong Kong); in others, Christian minorities or foreign cultural influences have led populations to observe the holiday.
