I believe that culture describes the way of life of the people by which their identity and their peculiarity are distinguished. And so, in all aspect of life these characteristics are displayed. Christmas festivity is one of the most significance celebration which incorporate various Christian and secular customs and tradition of which these could be shown. Christmas is the celebration of the first manifestation of God (the incarnate word made flesh) first entry into the world.

The essence of Christmas celebration is the remembrance of the birth of Christ; in this regard Christmas could be celebrated based on different culturally practices. When talking about the different cultural practice it involves the ways of decoration, carols, different cultural display. Etc.
I am writing explicitly to describe how Christmas decoration is done in my country. Before the Christmas Eve, the youth in different church will gather and make plans on getting palm front and the saps from the bush in preparation of the manger. The significance behind the use of palm in the construct of manger is to depute the place where Christ was born.

After the manger being completed and saps being placed on the floor of manger,
the grip are brought to represent the different character of the scene such as the infant Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the three wise men and the lamp.

With that being concluded, the manger and grip is decorated with light which means the illumination of Christ birth as the light of the world.

It is presumably that after all the arrangement had been down the church seems to be very dusty and at such the church need to kept clean for the celebration.

During the time of Christmas it is a moment of love sharing, a period of travelling home, exchange of gift etc. But most significantly, it is also a season of masquerade, culturally wrestling and other cultural display.
