Christmas Day
The word Christmas originated as a compound word meaning "Christ's Mass". Christmas is truly a global celebration. For many centuries, Christian writers believed that Christmas was the actual date on which Jesus Christ was born. However, in the early eighteenth century, scholars began proposing alternative explanations. For example, Isaac Newton argued that the date of Christmas was selected to correspond with the winter solstice, which in ancient times was marked on December 25. In 1889, Louis Duchesne suggested that the date of Christmas was calculated as nine months after the Annunciation (March 25) or the traditional incarnation date. The real Christmas story is in the Christian Bible. It is told in two different books: Matthew and Luke. According to these accounts, Jesus was born to Mary and her to- be husband Joseph, in the city of Bethlehem. The birth took place in a stable, surrounded by farm animals. The global spirit of this day transcends all different stories into one popular faith. The most popular Christian holiday, Christmas has also evolved into a day for secular celebration around the globe.
Christmas in Christianity marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days, beginning Christmas day. Christmas Day is celebrated as a major festival and public holiday in most countries of the world.
Christians celebrate Christmas in many ways. This day is one of the most important and popular for the attendance of church services. Prior to Christmas Day, December 24 is celebrated as Christmas Eve and the birth of Christ. People gather in the church at midnight and sing carols.
On Christmas, people decorate their homes, and exchange gifts. Christmas tree decorated with ornaments and gifts is a popular sight during this season.
Family reunions and the exchange of gifts is a common in this season. A number of Christian and legendary figures have been associated with both Christmas and the giving of gifts. Among these is Father Christmas, also known as Santa Claus. A special Christmas family meal is an important part of the celebration, but the menu can vary greatly from country to country. The eating of sweets and chocolates has become popular worldwide.
In actual, the Christmas season or the holiday season is an annual 2 to 4 month festive period that surrounds the Christmas holiday as well as other varying holidays. It incorporates a period of shopping which forms a peak season for the retail sector, i.e. the Christmas shopping season. In the United States the season is generally considered to begin with Thanksgiving and end after New Year's Day. With the modernization in lifestyles, the traditions of the Twelve Days of Christmas have been largely forgotten in the U.S. However, keeping up with the Christmas spirit, people try to make it the most festive and joyful part of their year by participating in full spirit.
