Dear Editor,
Christmas is celebrated as a religious and cultural festival by billions of people around the world. It is an annual festival that recalls the birth of Jesus Christ observed most commonly on December 25 and is an integral part of the holiday season. Carol singing, decorating the house in red and green and preparation of a sumptuous meal are the highlights of the celebration. In fact, the word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, old English word for “Christ’s Mass,” which references the Catholic tradition of holding a special mass ceremony to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Santa Claus has a significant role in the Christmas celebration.
The Christmas tree is considered to be a symbol of Christ. Decorating a Christmas tree is considered to be an ancient custom that reminds everyone how valuable life is. Christmas is a time when many people spread love, enjoy time with friends and family, and eat delectable home-cooked meals. A variety of food is prepared, cut cakes, also people share meals to celebrate this joyful festival. Without a glass of sweet grape wine and a piece of fruitcake, Christmas dinner would be incomplete. It is a festival that spreads warmth in each individual. So this Christmas make sure to enjoy it to the fullest and be grateful for everything.
