An important day December 25, 2020 Christmas, the birthday of Jesus Christ, is being celebrated today all over the world. Historically, Christmas is one of the most popular festivals in the world and has been celebrated with traditional zeal and enthusiasm for many centuries. The ancient Roman Empire also used to announce a public holiday on December 25, and even today there is a public holiday in most countries. On this big day, large numbers of people share happy moments and joys of Christmas with each other. However, this year's outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has badly affected Christmas celebrations around the world. Reportedly, the emergence of a new strain of the coronavirus has forced many countries, including the UK, to impose more restrictions on public gatherings. Lockdowns have been announced in many places and for the first time, many countries are advising their citizens to not celebrate Christmas in a traditional way so as to prevent the spread of the coronavirus pandemic among the people.
