Christmas in Turkey a secular Turkish Christmas
In Ankara and other cities Christmas unfolds as a secular, festive season in a Muslim country. Turks decorate, shop, and celebrate with Santa figures, feasts, and family gatherings on New Year's Eve rather than December 25, while Eid follows soon after with sheep sacrifices evolving toward charity. Community voices reflect varying views on religious significance and commercial aspects.
