Christmas is the Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus on 25 December each year. It is also known as the Feast of the Nativity, the Holy Nativity, or the Feast of Christ. Since the beginning of the 20th century, Christmas has started to be celebrated as a holiday that is also celebrated by non-Christians, free of religious motifs,focused around the exchange of gifts. In this secular version of Christmas, the mythological figure Santa Claus plays a central role.
