However, many countries have their own habits and folklore for Christmas Eve, and the big day itself. We all have our own traditions at Christmas time.
In Italy on January 5th - children get a visit from 'Befana' who's a witch on a broomstick.
Befana flies through the night and delivers presents just like Santa.
The witches are treated differently in Norway however.
Norwegians hide their brooms from witches so they're not stolen.
Japan have a tradition of eating KFC on the big day.
While in Sweden, the nation is addressed by the a popular figure every Christmas Eve, Donald Duck.
A nice fire cracker wakes you up on Christmas morning in Venezuela.
That's closely followed by roller skating your way to mass.
