Christmas Spirit



It's finally December 25! The birthday of Jesus Christ! The time when everyone is sharing and loving one another. The birth of Jesus is the reason why we are all saved from total darkness. People from around the world have been observing traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. 




Holidays are the times for families and communities to unite together to commemorate the historic events of the season. It's often the time to reconnect with friends and family. Different traditions were celebrated from different countries and religions. The decorating of the Christmas Tree is the most popular tradition. The exchanging of gifts during Christmas Eve, singing Christmas carols, hanging up evergreen branches and having supper with families. Of course, Santa Claus, the most popular for the children. The first Santa was still known as St. Nicholas, he did smoke a pipe, and fly around a wagon without any reindeer, but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole, he did however bring presents to the children every year.

Christmas is not all about the gifts you receive, it's about how you celebrate it. We need to be thankful for what we have. It's the most beautiful time of the year!
(Merry Christmas in Latin)
Natale hilare et Annum Faustum!
