That being said, about 10% are Christians, which amounts to about 20 million people. Plenty of people go to mass on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and it&#8217;s not hard to find Christmas trees or carols in shopping malls all across the archipelago nation. The government even throws an annual Christmas celebration and broadcasts it on TV. Other popular Christmas movies such as &#8220;Home Alone&#8221; are also commonly shown this month.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_483\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44534236@N00\/11548290144\/in\/photolist-iAu1jL-qds7GQ-4Tibdp-94jZj7-7Ek5S-is8Zt7-aYt1dz-dC6ccw-dDHTja-4fr6uJ-dCo4h4-5LJXWh-7ox4q6-4eu6cJ-5LZRPE-5LXxyu-8ZMtqT-viaRA-iyA6a6-vf98V-5LXeoU-4fdtp2-94kwvi-5KRRbk-b1A99c-93GA8Q-iE1K3H-5Lamhy-94f5EZ-7NwJK-aXyA3z-91GovS-7pEQ5q-4fEEuw-7MW97-7pWCCs-q8trf8-dD4nXk-isSizd-ixvnip-7rUUTm-aZGNwa-dDHcYV-vkLHk-iHHsfr-7q4FPP-5F2Ezx-7q8Yzq-7q5Sua-7pXpix\" aria-label=\"11548290144 B2de177eae Z\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-483\" class=\"size-full wp-image-483\"  alt=\"Image by faungg's photo from www.flickr.com\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/indonesian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2014\/12\/11548290144_b2de177eae_z.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/indonesian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2014\/12\/11548290144_b2de177eae_z.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/indonesian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2014\/12\/11548290144_b2de177eae_z-350x232.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-483\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by faungg&#8217;s photo from www.flickr.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left\">To help get you in the holiday spirit by talking about this holiday in Indonesian, here are 20 useful Christmas vocabulary words:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">Malam Natal &#8211; Christmas Eve<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">Hari Natal &#8211; Christmas<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">Selamat Natal &#8211; Merry Christmas<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">pohon Natal &#8211; Christmas tree<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">hiasan &#8211; decoration<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center\">angkaian bunga bundar &#8211; wreath<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">Kristen &#8211; Christian<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">Yesus Kristus &#8211; Jesus Christ<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">gereja &#8211; church<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">misa tengah malam &#8211; midnight mass<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">Sinterkals &#8211; Santa Claus<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">peri &#8211; elf<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">kereta luncur &#8211; sleigh<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">rusa kutub &#8211; eindeer<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">hadiah &#8211; gift\/present<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">kaus kaki &#8211; stocking<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">lagu-lagu Natal &#8211; Christmas carols<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">rumah gingerbread &#8211; gingerbread house<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">per men tongkat &#8211; candy cane<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\">manusia salju &#8211; snowman<\/h3>\n<p>Practice your listening skills by watching this Christmas special from last year:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2013 featuring Billy Simpson from The Voice Indonesia\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/flh4qwuroLo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s too much, then just watch this playlist of Christmas carols in Indonesian.
