Christmas

Christmas..Isn't it the season of giving?However, I think this festival has now taken a whole new meaning..

Christmas is a holiday observed in much of the world on 25th December or on 7th January in most Easterm Orthodox Churches. It is celebrated by most Christians to mark the birth of Jesus Christ, but is also a significant holiday celebrated by many non-Christian people in both the Western and Eastern countries. Most Christmas traditions originated with pre-Christian observances that were subsumed into Christianity.

Christmas has become the most economically significant holiday of the year. It is largely characterized by gifts being exchanged within families and being brought by Santa Claus or Father Christmas. Various local and regional Christmas traditions are still practised, despite widespread influence of American and Bristish Christmas motifs disseminated by globization, popular literature, television, and other media.
