Is Christmas songs is a part of religious songs?
Properly speaking, Christmas CAROLS have a religious bent, such as Silent Night, O Holy Night, Little town of Bethlehem.. there are wholly secular Christmas songs such as White Christmas, the various Santa Claus songs, and well, some that are not even about Christmas but have a wintry themes and are lumped in ( for example Sleigh Ride and Winter Wonderland- neither mentions Christmas in the lyrics! Home for the Holidays may be about Thanksgiving. All of the geographical locations are US, and also Christmas is not implied in the lyrics... still more songs done on the Christmas holiday season than any other Holiday- Impact registered!
How does Israel celebrate Christmas in regards to customs traditions and decorations?
Israel is mostly populated with Jews. Jews do not recognize Jesus Christ as the son of God. Since Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, it is not recognized as a holiday by Jews. Christmas is, however, celebrated by the minority of Christian Arabs residing all over the country. Although it is not an official holiday, it is still celebrated even as a tradition. To say that Christmas is not evident in Israel would be too ignorant of a statement. Jews do, however, celebrate Channukah at about the same time that Christians celebrate Christmas.
Why was Christmas banned in Russia?
Christmas was largely celebrated in Imperial Russia although as with most Orthodox religions it was actually observed on January 6th during "Epiphany". Karl Marx, the inventor of the socialist ideology stated that "religion was the opium of the people" (or opiate of the masses, depending on translation). During the Soviet Union a policy called gosateizm called for the dismantling of all things considered "religious" this included religious holidays such as Christmas. Many people did still celebrate the holiday in their own homes, many more began celebrating New Years in place of Christmas during the Soviet era. This is why it's still such a hugely popular holiday now in the Russian Federation.

Is Christmas a festival?
Christmas, in a way, is a festival. It is a holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ (for those who are religious) and a special day where children expect the legendary Santa Clause (how cute!). For those who are not religious, though the adorable Santa Clause is still a part of this festivity, Christmas is a time to set aside all stresses and worries and enjoy time with those you love; to spend time with family, friends, loved ones and to exchange good tidings or gifts.Some believe that Christmas is a miraculous time of year, the only time of year when everyone is equal and love is the strongest. The spirit if Christmas is indeed a joyous thing, deserving of the title "festival", but more so is it a holiday for love, sharing, and caring.

What holidays are religious?
Originally all holidays were religious festivals. that is where the word 'holiday' comes from - 'holy day'. Nowadays the holidays that are still religious are Christmas (celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ), Good Friday (remembering the Crucifixion) and Easter (celebrating the Resurrection). In some countries, Pentecost ('Whitsunday') is still a holiday - this commemorates the coming oof the Holy Spirit, and also, in some countries, Ascension Day (when Jesus ascended into heaven) is also a holiday. In Catholic countries other days may also be holidays, such as the start of Lent (Ash Wednesday), and, as Catholics revere saints much more than protestant countries, many saints days can also be holidays.
