christmas

Christmas is a holiday celebrated on December 25th around the world to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ born to the Virgin Mary. Jesus was born in Bethlehem in a manger and was visited by the three wise men bringing Him gifts with this setting being reproduced in the classic nativity scene.


Christmas is also celebrated by non-Christians and has given rise to a highly commercialized holiday with an emphasis on gift giving, shopping, lights, music, and decorations. The most exciting part about Christmas for children is the anticipation of the arrival of Santa Claus bringing Christmas Toys for good girls and boys.

The birth of Jesus can be read about in the Bible in the book of Matthew chapter 1 and 2. You'll find bloggers talking about Christmas all year long at 365 Days of Christmas.
