Christmas is a cultural affair, Christmas is usually celebrated in different ways. In Spain, for example, Santa Claus has not got a lot of importance, whereas the Three Wise Men are the ones who bring the presents to the children. In South America is different, in Colombia, for example, the children don't believe in the Three Wise Men neither in Santa Claus, but they believe in Jesus child. There, the people pray for nine nights until his birth on 24th December. The presents are requested to Jesus child and only can be opened at midnight on 24th December. If you are an adolescent to believe in Jesus child, then you can play "Aguinaldos".
The " Aguinaldos" are games in which something is usually bet, for example money, presents, punishment, etc. These games are "Yes or Not", "Give and don't accept", " Ask for and don't answer", and of course, "A Stolen Kiss".
Even in Japan Christmas is celebrated, although they aren't Christians, they put lights on the street, they meet in family and at Christmas Eve they dinner in KFC ( Kentucky Fried Chicken), and they eat strawberry and cream cake. But after all this, they go to work because in Japan 25th December isn't a holiday.
Christmas is a worldwide event although it is celebrated in very different ways.
