Católica o Protestante : Desde la prehistoria, las civilizaciones europeas celebran el alargamiento de los días, asociándoles rituales de regalos y fogatas. En el empiro romano la fiesta de Saturnalia duraba varios días (fiestas, juegos de azar). Las tribus germánicas también le asociaban fiestas y borracheras. Los búgaros, con Koleduvane, y los polacos, con Gwiazdka, mantienen esta tradición. Se supone que Jesús de Nazaret nació en la primavera (los reformistas opinan que en otoño). Sin embargo el Papa Julio 1º (también se habla del obispo Liberus en el 354 d.C.) trasladó su el aniversario al 25 de diciembre y se introdujo un elemento cristiano en medio de las tradicionales fiestas en medio del invierno. Antes de 1582, los estados papales y otras ciudades estado italianas celebraban Año Nuevo el día de Navidad.
