Only about 23% of people in the UK celebrate the birth of Jesus. People forget the real meaning of Christmas because people now think that the real meaning of Christmas is giving presents to each other. The real meaning of Christmas is to thank God for bringing himself to earth as a human being. He came to earth to forgive the people their sins and to give them a fresh start. It is also to share joy and love to each other and with family, friends and relations. Now that people forget this less and less people that really understand why Christmas is celebrated on earth.

Africa is a very large continent which consits of many different countries, all with their own cultures. Many north African countries are Islamic and celebrate holidays of the muslim faith. In western, eastern, central and souther African countries, there are many Christians, as they are former European colonies, so would celebrate Christmas, though not necessarily with the same customs as are common in the USA and UK. In other countries which are neither Muslim nor Christian, they may have their own occasions which they celebrate, but it will not be instead of Christmas.
Christmas is a festive occasion in London and residences, streets and buildings are decorated with Christmas trees and other holiday decorations. Many spend the holiday with family and exchange gifts. Children wake up to find gifts in either stockings or hidden throughout the house for them to find that Father Christmas has left for them. A huge festive meal, traditionally consisting of turkey with all the trimmings and sweets like pies and puddings, is very much a big part of the day. In addition, many attend special holiday church services on the day as well.
