How do you think Christmas must be celebrated?

Christmas is celebrated to remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ (our saviour). Christmas is celebrated in different ways by many and not celebrated at all by others. It is also celebrated on the 25th by most and on the 24th by other people.

Christmas is one of those holidays that just seems to be filled with cheer, wonder and happiness. Whether you are celebrating a religious or a secular Christmas, your day is sure to be filled with happines at the end. Christmas should be a religious, and social day for all of us. Not everyone believes in going  to church on that special day but it is one of the most important things to do on Christmas. It is a way of showing our love and thankfulness to Jesus for dying on the cross to save us. There are several and different ways of celebrating it, as mentioned before. It is a tradition all around the world to hang a Christmas tree in our home and decorate it beautifully. The christmas gifts are put by Santa Clause on the 25th just under the tree. People decorate their homes with colorful and cheerful lights, candy canes, santa clauses, reindeers and many more. Many people like to donate gifts to charities for the poor people on christmas. It makes them happy to know that they made someone else’s day on christmas when no one else would have!  It is a very generous act to show to others, it is all about spreading joy, kindness, beauty, and love during the Christmas season. Christmas is celebrated as well by gathering up with all of the family and having a great and delicious dinner. It is about sharing time with your loved ones, singing along to Christmas carols, having fun and playing games, praying and eating dinner after, being thankful for what you have, and watching Christmas movies all night long.

Christmas is truly one of my favorite holidays since its a very special day of the year where we can share with our loved ones, make other people happy, have fun ourselves, and celebrate christmas all together.

Christmas- Religious practice or commercial date?

     Is christmas actually a commercial date or a religious practice? This is a question that might be asked by many and i am going to be defining Christmas and giving my personal opinion about it as well.
      Christmas is an annual festival in which people celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, observed more commonly on december 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. In general it is a festivity that is celebrated by christians but that does not stop other people from celebrating if they wanted to. The reason of celebrating Christmas is what makes it a religious practice. Now since when did christmas become all about buying things in a store and not about our youth, family and goodwill? This is a great question we should all be asking ourselves! Christmas should be all about god, christ and family but instead it is all about some meaningless presents or about buying some gorgeous outfit from your favorite store because you want to look pretty that night.  Christmas is when most people take advantage of the date for personal reasons and to make more money. They use christmas in commercials for their own benefits. They wait for Christmas time which is the 25th to do some discounts for more people to buy things. They put special offers on tv to gain more customers when they barely care about christmas celebration.
        Now to answer the exact question, i believe that christmas is both, a religious practice to some and a commercial date to others, and i think it is time to change the thought of it being all about the hair, makeup, clothes, and presents and make it more about Jesus Christ which is the main reason why Christmas is celebrated.
