Armenian Christmas is a special celebration on January 6th when people in Armenia remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Unlike many others who celebrate on December 25th, Armenians have their Christmas later because of old traditions. On this day, families go to church, light candles, and listen to special songs and prayers. They also eat delicious food with loved ones, like fish and rice, to remember important stories about Jesus. It's a day filled with joy, love, and sharing, where everyone comes together to honor their faith and spend time with family and friends.

Exchange small gifts and wishes with loved ones. Light a candle in memory of those who aren't there. Spend time playing games and sharing stories with your family.
