What does Christmas mean for you?

To me, Christmas is simply the time to celebrate with one another. It is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ which people across the world have been celebrating for ages now even before I was born.

Christmas is more the occasion that we celebrate because Christmas is a worldwide celebration that comes with holidays that allow people to celebrate with their loved ones.

To me, I see Christmas as an opportunity to stop whatever I am. doing and give thanks to God, for the love Jesus Christ has brought into the world. In giving thanks to God, I do pray, before sharing gifts with my family, friends, and well wishes. In simple words, Christmas marks the birth of Jesus Christ.

Trace the origin of Christmas, stating at least 3 facts that support or counter the celebration.

The birth of Jesus Christ was first attributed to the date 25 December, which we have just celebrated in the 4th century, people believe it was the early Roman Christians that began the celebration of Christmas since then they used to celebrate the European festival at the end of the year.

Before I gave birth many Christmases have been celebrated and I have also celebrated many. In some texts, it was that St. Nicholas was the first person who developed the celebration of Christmas to be 25 December, which has become a worldwide celebration.

Was Jesus born on 25th December?

The precise date Jesus Christ was is not made known which to me I have searched and notice that it is still unclear if Jesus Christ was on 25th December or not. In the New Testament, it was not written if Jesus Christ was born on 25th December or not.

Why do you choose to or choose not to celebrate Christmas?

I choose to celebrate Christmas because I am still living and I need to use the opportunity of Christmas and give thanks to God Almighty and Jesus Christ. I also, choose to celebrate Christmas, because it is the day of showing love to people and giving to the less privileged.

Finally, I choose to celebrate Christmas because I am a Christian and before I was born people have been celebrating Christmas even if I pass away people will still be celebrating Christmas.

The Bible doesn't criticize celebration, which means Christmas is a universal celebration I shouldn't think of giving excuses for not celebrating it.
