Christmas in the US
Decorations
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, many people decorate their homes with lights, Christmas trees, wreaths, and other festive ornaments. Cities and towns are often adorned with colorful lights and decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.
Watching classic Christmas movies and listening to festive music are common traditions. Popular Christmas films include "It's a Wonderful Life," "A Christmas Carol," and "Home Alone." Christmas music, both traditional carols and modern holiday songs, is played on the radio and in public spaces.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
Exchanging gifts is a significant tradition during Christmas. Families and friends exchange presents as a way of expressing love and goodwill. Many people also participate in "Secret Santa" gift exchanges at workplaces or social gatherings.
Gift-Giving
Christmas Eve (December 24th) and Christmas Day (December 25th) are typically celebrated with special meals and gatherings. Many people attend church services on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day is often spent with family and friends. Traditional Christmas foods include roast turkey or ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and various desserts.
Santa Claus
The figure of Santa Claus plays a prominent role in American Christmas celebrations. Children are told that Santa Claus, a jolly man in a red suit, travels from the North Pole on Christmas Eve to deliver presents to well-behaved children.
Holiday Parades and Events
Many communities organize Christmas parades, festivals, and events throughout December. These may include caroling, holiday markets, and visits from Santa Claus.
