About Christmas
About this ebook
Related to Annunciation, Incarnation; Crucifixion; Advent, the four
weeks preceding Christmas; and the period between the day after
Thanksgiving and the Sunday after New Year”s Day, the American holiday
season.
Christmas or Christmas Day is a
holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, the central figure of
Christianity. Aspects of celebration may include gift-giving, Christmas
trees, display of Nativity sets, church attendance, the Father
Christmas/Santa Claus myth, and family gatherings. Users of the
Gregorian calendar observe the holiday on December 25. Some Eastern
Orthodox Churches celebrate on December 25 by the Julian calendar, which
currently corresponds to January 7 on the Gregorian calendar. These
dates are merely traditional; the great majority of scholars agree that
the actual birthdate of Jesus is unknown. In Western culture, the
holiday is characterized by the exchange of gifts among friends and
family members, some of the gifts being attributed to Santa Claus (also
known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Basil and Father
Frost). However, various local and regional Christmas traditions are
still practiced, despite the widespread influence of American, British
and Australian Christmas motifs disseminated by film, popular
literature, television, and other media.
