I remember when Whatsapp started taking off here in Europe.

depends on where you are. Most western countries celebrate christmas on one day, december 25th. There are a number of holidays around christmas (like January 6), but they are not usually considered _part of _ christmas.

spending christmas in australia or new zealand has been one of my top bucket list items for decades.
