Christmas Day (Public Holiday)
This is the season to be jolly in Cape Town by celebrating Christmas lunches at home or on the beach with your family
Christmas is an international public holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, and Christmas Day in South Africa is not much different.
Although we are in Africa, many South Africans uphold the European traditions, including the display of Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Father Christmas (Santa Claus).
