What customs and traditions do they celebrate in Kenya?

Answer 1

The religious part of Christmas is stronger in Kenya, most people go to church this day. The churches are decorated so, the most used decorations in the country are flower, green plants and ballons. Of course there aren't too much pine trees in the country, so there aren't so much Christmas trees, and these some are fake (from plastic) of course. Even where you can see a plastic tree, you will see a few plastic snow too. Houses are decorated with flowers and green plants just like the churches. After going to church, the second important is to have a big dinner with family and friends, roasted goat meat must be eaten this evening. And giving gifts is just the third in Kenya.

Answer 2

Christmas is celebrated by Christians, no matter where they live (in the Russian church is is not on the same day but it is still celebrated)

The question is therefore does the Government of Kenya recognize Christmas as a National Holiday

Well here are the Kenyan national Holidays (from the Kenya web site)

2007

1 Jan New Year's Day.

6 Apr Good Friday.

9 Apr Easter Monday.

1 May Labour Day.

1 Jun Madaraka Day.

10 Oct Moi Day.

13 Oct Eid al-Fitr (End of Ramadan).

20 Oct Kenyatta Day.

12 Dec Independence Day.

25 Dec Christmas Day.

26 Dec Boxing Day.

So I think the answer must be yes, Kenya does celebrate Christmas (and Good Friday and Easter Monday) so by and large the country must be a Christian country.
