Christmas Day celebrations are well underway across the world, as roughly 2.3 billion Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25.
In Sydney, where December is one of the hottest months of the year, Christmas revellers traditionally head down to the beach, cook barbecues and spend most of the day outdoors.
In Britain, those opting for a Christmas morning swim had to endure freezing temperatures as they braved icy waters in up and down the country.
There was a double cause for celebration in Iraq as the government announced it would make December 25 a nationwide holiday for everyone, rather than just for the country's 300,000 Christians, for the first time.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
