JAKARTA - Being born and raised in a family with a diverse cultural and religious background makes Cinta Laura have a unique view of Christmas celebrations. For him, Christmas is more meaningful as a cultural tradition than a religious celebration.
Cinta explained that in her family, Christmas celebrations are not carried out as usual. This is because of the differences in beliefs among her family members.
"In my family, Christmas is more seen as something that is more culturally oriented, so it's not religious," Cinta said in Senayan, not long ago.
He likened the Christmas celebration in Germany, his father's country of origin, to the Eid al-Fitr celebration in Indonesia. This is a moment where everyone gathers with their families, regardless of their religion.
The fact that the mother is a Muslim is also one of the reasons why Christmas in her family is celebrated in a more universal way.
"Because my mom is also a Muslim, that's it," he said.
The tradition that they usually do is to have dinner together on Christmas Eve. This moment is more aimed at strengthening family ties.
"It is more to do something as a family than a certain religious celebration," he explained.
Arya Vasco also added that they celebrate Christmas more for its festivity, not from its religious side.
