With Dec. 25 right around the corner, nations around the world have been struck with the Christmas spirit.

In European nations such as Germany, Denmark and France, world-famous holiday markets treated visitors to some ultra-glittery kitsch and ornately-decorated sweets. On a considerably more somber note, Pakistani Christians attended contemplative Advent church services, while in war-torn Afghanistan, U.S. troops were treated to a special appearance by Robin Williams in the weeks leading up to the holiday. And of course, Santa Claus himself made numerous worldwide appearances, from Monaco to Malaysia.
