This festive day is usually celebrated with jolly gifts, a big communal meal and activities that revolve around the season. Christmas celebrations vary according to culture, religion and geographical location.

When is Christmas celebrated?

Christmas officially takes place on the 25th of December but many also celebrate it during the late afternoon or evening on the day before, the 24th. In countries in the Northern Hemisphere, this is during winter when it snows, hence the expression ‘white Christmas’. In countries in the Southern Hemisphere such as South Africa, this time of the year is during the height of summer. As a result, this time of the year is associated with the sunshine and spending time outdoors with family and friends doing fun activities around the home or in public spaces like beaches and parks. Christmas at Superbalist usually begins in early December for the 15 Days of Deals offers.

Why is Christmas important?

Christmas is an important holiday as it brings together friends and family through festive cheer, love, gifts, cultural traditions and food. It is observed in many Western countries as the main holiday in the month of December and is the reason this period is called the ‘holiday season’. This is also due to it being so close to the end of the year (and in the United States, close to the Thanksgiving holiday) when many businesses, schools and institutions close. In South Africa, Christmas is celebrated with family and friends, and it is the time when many people travel to visit them. They bring gifts with them – Superbalist is the best place to purchase Christmas gifts. Superbalist has beauty and grooming presents, gift sets, fashion for women, men and kids, artwork, jewellery, phone covers, kitchen supplies and tableware.

Food commonly enjoyed includes meat such as turkey, chicken, lamb or beef, along with vegetable dishes, salads and desserts, and is cooked by the host or communally by the attendees.
