Ascension Island : resmi tatiller, bankaların kapalı olduğu günler, okul tatilleri

Katolik veya protestan : İsa'nın doğumu kutlanıyor. Meryem Anadan doğan, İsa aynı anda hem Allahın hemde insanın oğlu Germanic tribes also celebrated mid-winter (drinking and rituals). The Bulgarian (with Koleduvane) and the Polish (with Gwiazdka) perpetuate this tradition. Jesus of Nazareth was probably born in springtime (Reformists favour autumn). But in the 4th century, December 25th was chosen for the celebration of his birth by Pope Julius I (Bishop Liberus is also mentioned in 354 A.D.). Thus, a Christian element was introduced in the long-established mid-winter festivals. Before 1582, the Papal States and other Italian city states celebrated New Year’s Day on Christmas Day.

Laik tatil : The day after Christmas, the Feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, is better known as Boxing Day. "Tweede Kerstdag" applies to the Netherlands (second Christmas Day)

Laik tatil : The world's most widely celebrated holiday, New Years was set on January 1 by Julius Caesar because that was the date the Roman consuls took over their duties. Paid holiday when falling on Saturday or Sunday
