聖誕節
12月25日，是基督教徒紀念耶穌誕生的日子，稱為聖誕節。
從12月24日於翌年1月6日為聖誕節節期。節日期間，各國基督教徒都舉行隆重的紀念儀式。聖誕節本來是基督教徒的節日，由於人們格外重視，它便成為一個全民性的節日，是西方國家一年中最盛大的節日，可以和新年相提並論，類似我國過春節。
西方人以紅、綠、白三色為聖誕色，聖誕節來臨時家家戶戶都要用聖誕色來裝飾。紅色的有聖誕花和聖誕蜡燭。綠色的是聖誕樹。它是聖誕節的主要裝飾品，用砍伐來的杉、柏一類呈塔形的常青樹裝飾而成。上面懸挂著五顏六色的彩燈、禮物和紙花，還點燃著聖誕蜡燭。紅色与白色相映成趣的是聖誕老人，他是聖誕節活動中最受歡迎的人物。西方儿童在聖誕夜臨睡之前，要在壁爐前或枕頭旁放上一隻襪子，等候聖誕老人在他們入睡後把禮物放在襪子內。在西方，扮演聖誕老人也是一種習俗。
聖誕老人
聖誕老人原指公元4世紀時小亞細亞專區的主教尼古拉，他因和藹可親慷慨濟貧万裏聞名。到了6世紀，東方把他尊稱為聖尼古拉。由於民間有關尼古拉的傳說中，都聯系到少年儿童和禮物，從此，聖誕老人便成為專門在聖誕節向孩子們送禮物的慈祥老人的形象。到了18世紀，通過文學和繪畫，聖誕老人逐漸成為身穿紅外衣的白胡子、白眉毛老人形象。
