Iraqi churches cancel Christmas festivities
Iraqi Christians across Kirkuk Mosul Basra and Baghdad cancelled public Christmas celebrations and decorations out of fear of al Qaida attacks following the October siege on a Baghdad church. Officials said no outdoor trees or Mass Christmas Eve and Day will be held, with money redirected to Christian refugees.
