Residents of Taiwan got Dec. 25 off for the first time in nearly 25 years after lawmakers reinstated a public holiday that coincides with Christmas Day.
In Taiwan, Dec. 25 is commemorated as Constitution Day to mark the creation and the adoption of the document. Part of Taiwan’s population had always used the day to celebrate Christmas, either as a religious holiday or an opportunity to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
