How do people celebrate their time with their family during Christmas? What's the history behind the tradition? At its core, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus. The holiday's connection to Christ is obvious through its root "Christ's Mass".
For Christians, it is the time to renew one's faith, give generously and consider the past. But Christmas is also a secular celebration of family-one that many non-Christians and people of other religions are comfortable accepting as their own. Christmas is also a fascinating miscellany of traditions: one that combines pre-Christian pagan rituals with modern traditions. Every family that celebrates Christmas has its own customs--some surprisingly universal, others entirely unique-but all comfortably familiar in their seeming antiquity.
On Christmas eve,traditionally, we hear mass before Christmas starts, exchange gifts, and forgive each other.
For Christmas, do you have a wishlist of gifts you want? What does your family do every Christmas? What is the best gift you have ever received and given?
~Charles Dickens
