Although the Gulf Cooperation Council is predominantly influenced by Islamic traditions, and Christmas Day isn't officially recognized as a prominent holiday, many Christian residents and expatriates still take the opportunity to celebrate one of the most festive occasions in the world.
During this time, Christians adorn their homes with Christmas trees and lights, exchange gifts with loved ones, and gather family and friends to share in festive meals and joyful activities. For most, the essence lies in commemorating the birth of Jesus and reveling in the joy of his existence.
