The story of Christmas is based on the biblical accounts given in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. According to these accounts, Jesus was born to Mary, assisted by her husband Joseph, in the city of Bethlehem. Christmas is a celebration of his birth.

In modern times, Christmas is observed on December 25th in the western world. The holiday season is celebrated by bright, decorative displays, big family meals, and embracing the spirit of giving.

Though traditionally a Christian holiday, Christmas festivities are carried out in full force by Christians and non-Christians alike. Throughout the world, people spend more money during the yuletide season than at any other time of the year. In the United States, Christmas is celebrated by 96% of the population.

Symbols of Christmas include angels, Santas, evergreen trees, Nativity scenes, gift boxes, bells, and holly. Also used are various symbols of the Christian faith such as crosses and doves. The colors most often associated with Christmas are red and green, often accompanied by shimmering white, silver and gold.
