According to the Iraqis, Santa Claus is considered to be the traditional gift-bringer. Although there is no snow in Iraq during this time of the year, Santa Claus is believed to come on his sleigh pulled by his trusted reindeer. Dressed in red and white attire, Santa Claus also carries a brown sack filled with gifts and places them under the Christmas tree, while everyone is asleep at night.
Christmas in Iraq is a unique occasion for all the Assyrians. During Christmas time, all the Iraqi Christians carry out their customs and traditions in the most sincere manner. Although the Christmas celebrations are held subtly, the people in Iraq make sure they have a lot of fun during the holiday season.
