When do the Copts celebrate Christmas?
The majority of Egypt's population are Muslims, so they do not celebrate it as we do. They believe that Jesus was one of the prophets but not The Messiah, so they see it as a significant birthday of a prominent religious figure but don't normally go beyond remembering this fact other than as part of their daily prayers at the mosque.
however, a significant number of Egyptians are Coptic Christians- they mark the day in a way that is much closer to the true spirit of Christmas than it is often kept in the West, taking a holiday and attending Church, remembering Christ's teachings and his sacrifice for others, and holding simple festive meals not for self-indulgence, but in honour of Jesus's birth as a form of thanksgiving. There isn't much of a tradition of present-giving, but some give each other small token presents as a form of remembering the gifts bestowed upon Christ by the Magi.
