Controversies:  Issues are always on the net relted to his birth date and why Christmas is celebrate on december 25? Stories about Joseph and Mary is also popular on internet. We can't say anything for sure, as there is no way to go back to history and find proof of it.

Causualties during Christmas? As per the survey from CNN, many people die during Christmas. It might be due to excessive drinking and cold weather.

What happens in Rome – Italy is the heart of Rome for Christmas celebrations. Celebrations are done here for continuous 8 days.  Carole can be heard in almost each street of Italy for eight days. Bagpipe players make the city look more beautiful. They keep caroling throughout the city. The best part is the Italians try their best not to eat meat during this season. Each day celebrations start at night when people go to mass in nearby churches.  Most of the people even go to Vatican to mass with Pope.  Finally when the Christmas day arrives, people prefer to invite all family and friends for full brunch and dinner. They celebrate with their favorite pasta and sweet Christmas bread.  The celebrations go on till Jan 6.
