There are many festivals and celebrations on or near the December 25th date. Some of the closest include (in no particular order):
Well it depends on your religion, like if you are Jewish you celebrate Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur to name few..if you are christian maybe you celebrate Easter/Christmas or something like that..If you are a muslim, you celebrate Eid,Ramadan,Eid-Al Adha..depends on your religion :)
The same as everywhere else.
i think they celebrate Christmas on the 25 like everyone else
Jews in Latin America celebrate Hanukkah in much the same way as Jews around the world. They tell each other 'Feliz Hanukkah', light a menorah, and distribute gifts the same as anywhere else.
For of the same reasons as anyone else who celebrates Christmas.
the same time it is anywhere else they celebrate Christmas, Dec. 25
dec 25 why would they celebrate any time else
It depends on what YOU want to do. Celebrate what YOU want to celebrate. Wether you are non-religious, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. celebrate Christmas if YOUwant to. It's your choice, not anyone else's.
"Instead" implies that one thing is replacing another or that the two are corollaries of one-another. This is not the case. Jews celebrate Hanukkah contemporaneously with Christmas, but these holidays are different in celebration, meaning, and purpose. They have nothing in common other than that they are both in December.Religious Jews ignore Christmas; it is simply not something of any importance to them in much the same way that Christians ignore Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, or Diwali (which are Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu holidays) because they are not relevant to their tradition. Jews hold that their savior is not yet born, so it would be improper to celebrate the birth of a false Messianic Candidate.
25th of December like everyone else!
Same time it does everywhere else.
If they choose to celebrate they do so wherever they are on that day, just like everyone else.
The Dutch do celebrate Christmas and they also call it Christmas. They also have Christmas trees, exchange gifts and tell tales of Santa to their children. The Dutch word for Christmas is Kerstmis, or Kerst in short.
