In Jordan, Christmas celebrations often begin around the 20th of December, even earlier. However, in Egypt, Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January. I believe these differences depend on the Christian traditions people follow

We don't have huge celebrations at Christmas but we usually celebrate The New Year.

Task 4:
Santa has eight reindeer to help pull his sleight

Is it right to use plural - reindeers? Answers shows it's wrong.

Hello Safe_Mode,

Deer (and reindeer) has an irregular plural form which is the same as the singular form: one deer, two deer, three deer etc.

Sheep also has the same plural and singular form. Fish has two plural forms: fish and fishes.

I'm Buddhist from Myanmar. But I love Christmas. I'm happy when I spend Christmas time. At Christmas time, we decorate public places like malls and centres with Christmas trees, Snowman and lots of light. Christians come to our house and sing Christmas songs at Christmas night. That's so lovely to listen Christmas songs for me. I spend my time by watching Christmas movies at Christmas time. I love all about Christmas, Santa, Christmas tree, snowman... . Christmas is also a public holiday in my country.

What holidays do people celebrate where you live?

In Mexico, we celebrate Christmas, too. And of course, a week later we celebrate New Year's Day. Then, in January, we celebrate the Three Kings' Day when kids receive their presents and we eat the delicious Three Kings' Cake.

I'm Vietnamese and we have the biggest holiday called Tết which takes places in the beginning of the year also as known as Lunar New year. People around Viet Nam always prepare so much for this holiday. We clean and decorate our houses in other to chase away the bad luck of the old year and welcome fortune coming from the new year. People who are working far from their hometown always look forward to go back and reunite with the others of their family. We cook a lot of traditional food which are so delicious

I live in Viet Nam, and we don't celebrate Christmas day as a special holiday. However I do love Christmas a lot. I have seen a lot videos about people celebrating this day through TV, I really admire that they appreciate the day so much and they spend several days earlier to excitedly decorate their houses with tinsels, baubles , holly. They  also prepare presents for the kids and food for family , relatives and friends to come over and enjoy the day together. It is so heartwarming.
