Cuba just started celebrating Christmas again in 1997. Fidel Castro, the dictator of Cuba, was the one that took away their Christmas in Cuba in 1969. They had lost Christmas for 28 years. The reason they got Christmas back is because the Pope was visiting Cuba, instead of just celebrating it for his visit, they now celebrate it every year.
