Christmas is a holiday which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. It is celebrated on December 25th by the Roman Catholic church and most Protestant denominations, and on January 7th by the Orthodox Catholic Church.
In Western countries, during the Christmas season people generally hang up colored lights, place a pine tree (Christmas tree) in their house, sing carols, and exchange gifts. Gift-giving commemorates the gifts given to the Christ child by the Magi, and is symbolic of the fact that Jesus came as the greatest gift of all.
Fox News pundits John Gibson and Bill O'Reilly claim that Christmas has come under attack by "liberals."
