In addition to the religious aspect, in western country tradition, Christmas commemoration has a non-religious aspect. Some Christmas traditions that come from the West include Christmas trees, Christmas cards, exchanging gifts between friends and family members and stories about Santa Claus or Santa Claus. Adat is then the diversity of religious communities in various countries.

At christmas, almost all the streets are decorated with typical christmas merchandise. It is the same as the knick-knacks of Ramadan in some Islamic countries. This is only natural because by appreciating the difference, the peedamaian will be easy to create. It is also governed by local rules.

But the most important thing is a sense of religious tolerance that should be taught to everyone. Tolerance must be taught from an early age so diversity can be accepted without any hostilities ending in war. It is no longer a bloody era of war. Now is the time to keep peace.
