Christmas Day celebrates the Nativity of Jesus which according to tradition took place on December 25th which is a public holiday in the Philippines and most countries around the world. Christmas Day in the Philippines is primarily a family affair and the longest celebrated season in the Philippines.

In the Philippines, there are only two kinds of holidays: regular holidays, and special non-working holidays.

Regular holidays are those that usually have a fixed date, such as New Year's Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day.

Special Holidays, on the other hand, are more flexible. Apart from being enacted by Congress, they can also be declared by the President of the Philippines.
