Christmas Celebrations in Malaysia
Christmas in Malaysia is a public holiday and is a religious affair to celebrate. The Malaysian Christian community (about 7% of the total population) prepare themselves spiritually by observing Advent, the four-week period before Christmas, by offering prayers, reading the Bible, and some even fast during this period. Christmas Eve is the day from when the Christmas merriment begins. Traditionally, it is the day for families and near and dear ones to gather together and then take part in the family Christmas dinner that is mostly a noisy affair.
After dinner, the time for prayer and Thanksgiving comes when families assembles in churches to attend the midnight mass. Usually, a Nativity play (or Christmas pageant) takes place before the church service begins. So, during your Christmas Vacation in Malaysia, you can also go to the nearby church for attending the midnight mass as people of all beliefs can attend it in Malaysia. These midnight services are generally very lively where people of different backgrounds and religions (including both locals and tourists) dress in their best and sings hymns and carols enthusiastically.
The Christmas celebration then continues till the wee hours of the morning when Malaysian Christian families eat late special meals at home. There is decoration everywhere, the kids run around excitedly, and the exchange of Christmas gifts take place.
