There are many things that Catholics do to celebrate Christmas. They begin their preparation by the season of Advent - the four Sundays before Christmas. Advent is like a little Lent - you are preparing yourself as John the Baptist did for the coming of Christ. One goes to confession to prepare one's soul for the wonder of God coming to earth and into one's life. On Christmas Eve one attends the midmight Mass where the Church welcomes the Christ child into the world with hymns and adoration. On Christmas morning the whole family goes to Church to celebrate this most wonderful event. There is a special Mass every day of the Christmas Octave (the eight days of Christmas) and it remains Christmas up through the Epiphany on the 6th of January until the Baptism of the Lord when Christmas comes to an end.
