Christmas is celebrated on December 25th to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ in 336 A.D., though it was influenced by earlier Roman pagan winter solstice festivals; Saint Nicholas is a symbol of gift-giving in Europe and influenced the tradition of Santa Claus; Advent is the four-week period before Christmas marking the waiting and preparation for Jesus' birth, which began in the 5th century; common Christmas traditions include decorating with mistletoe and children hanging stockings to receive gifts from Santa.
