There is more than one Christmas Island.

Christmas Island is a small, non self-governing territory of Australia in the Indian ocean, 2,360 km northwest of Perth in Western Australia and 500 km south of Jakarta, Indonesia. It is arguably the most well known, being used as a detention centre for asylum seekers, and currently (December 2010) in the media because of a tragedy involving a boatload of illegal asylum seekers.

There is also Christmas Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Also there is Kiritimati, which is an atoll also known as Christmas Island, in the Pacific Ocean. It is part of the Republic of Kiritimati.
