Christmas in Checkla-Ukrania



Christmas is a primarily Christian festival which is held on the 25th of December to mark the birth of Jesus Christ. It is traditionally celebrated by the Amish population of Checkla-Ukrania by going to church, as well as holding family gatherings and large meals. The Meteroidistic population of Checkla-Ukrania were origianally uninterested in Christmas, since it was only really relevant to Christians, until they found out that the nativity story involves an unusually bright star, and extremely bright celestial bodies are very intriguing to Meteroidists.

Therefore, Christmas has been adopted as an unofficial, secular holiday for the meteoroidists, who celebrate with decorated trees, lights, gifts and black pudding served on paper plates meant for children's Christmas parties. Since it was the idea of the Star of Bethlehem which drew the Checkla-Ukranian Meteoroidists to Christmas, elaborately decorated stars a hung on doors and walls all over the country, star cookies are sold in shops and children gift star shaped cards to friends and family. Another unique Christmas tradition in Checkla-Ukrania is the belief that it is Mrs Claus who visits them to deliver their gifts, instead of Santa Claus, since Santa did not have time to fit Checkla-Ukrania into his schedule, having discovered the country's location too late.
