Christmas Day

Christmas is a well-known Christian holiday set in


December, celebrated the world over and famed for its
decorations and Santa Claus. The Christmas means
“Feast day of Christ”. It is a yearly celebration marking
Jesus Christ’s birth; it is observed on the 25th of
December as a cultural and religious celebration among a
lot of people all over the world.
The history of Christmas is one that dates back to a
very long time; the first Christmas was celebrated in 336
A.D. in Rome. It is a public holiday and so people get a
Christmas break to celebrate it.
Preparations for Christmas start early for most people
so that celebrations begin on the eve of Christmas. People
usually buy decorations, food, and gifts mostly for
children in the family and friends. Kids get to meet the
‘Santa Claus’, dressed in a fluffy red and white costume,
who greets them with hugs and gifts.
The common preparations include decorations of the
place with Christmas trees lighting. The Christmas tree
brings the Christmas spirit in homes. Presents are placed
under the Christmas tree in wrapped gift boxes and are
not to be opened until Christmas day. The church is also
decorated for the special event. Families also plan to
travel to stay together during this celebration period.
Christmas carols are played on radios and televisions to
mark the day. Most families start by going to church
where performances and songs are done.

Christmas reminds us of the importance of giving and


sharing with friends and family. Through Christmas, we
know that Jesus birth is the beginning of great things in
the world. It is generally an opportunity to think about
nature and the reason for our existence. Christmas is such
a festival which people from all religions and faith
celebrate worldwide despite it being a Christian festival.
It is the essence of this festival which unites the people so
much.
