Christmas

Christmas is celebrated on 25th December by the world


Christian community. It commemorates the birth of Jesus
Christ and is thus celebrated with religious fervour.
Christmas is being celebrated for thousands of years and
has mostly evolved from an old pagan festival celebrating the
winter solstice. People celebrated the arrival of long sunny
days and the exit of winter. The arrival of hotter days meant
that people could now go out to earn money and do a lot of
things.
The most important rituals of Christmas involve
decorating the house, distributing gifts and feasting with the
family and friends. People start preparing for the festival
months in advance. Children love to shop for the Christmas
tree, which is the most important thing around Christmas.
Elders hide several gifts for the children in stocking in
the Christmas tree. Children wait for the day when the gifts
will be revealed to them and they will happily celebrate with
the family.
Many workers in shopping malls and market places are
dressed as Santa Clause for the entertainment of the customers
and the children accompanying them. Special events are
organized in the schools/colleges and offices before they close
for the holiday.
It is also the time of the year when people meet their
relatives and friends and make sure that they eat Christmas
feast together.
