Christmas
Christmas is an annual festival of Christians. Christmas marks the birth of the Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas is celebrated on 25th December every year. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26.
'Christ' means 'Messiah' or 'Anointed One'. It is the title which is given to Jesus and 'Mass' was a religious festival.
Christian's holy book Bible tells us the complete story about the life of Jesus like how Jesus was born, how was his life etc.
In western culture the Christmas is featured by the exchange of gifts among friends and family members. Some of the gifts are attributed to a Santa Clause who is known as the Father of Christmas. Santa Clause is also called Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas, Saint Basil and Father Frost.
The popular image of Santa Claus was created by the German-American cartoonist Thomas Nast, who drew a new image annually, beginning in 1863. Christmas tree is decorated with lights and Christmas Ornaments.
Christmas is celebrated by giving presents to family members and baksheesh, or charity, to the poor people. In India, the poinsettia is in flower and so the churches are decorated with this brilliant bloom for the Christmas Midnight Mass.
In many countries, businesses, schools, and communities have Christmas parties and dances in the weeks before Christmas. Christmas pageants may include a retelling of the story of the birth of Christ.
