chritmas

The sole definition of Christmas at one time was, an annual church festival in memory of the birth of Christ. Now when the word Christmas is mentioned people think about lights, trees, presents, food, friends and family, along with the birth of Christ. Some view these added meanings as a good change and some view them as a bad change. In today’s world Christmas is not defined only as celebrating the birth of Christ …

…and visiting others. Giving gifts and visiting with family and friends is not a bad thing at all. But in all the giving and all the visiting, people are slowly forgetting what the major part of the definition of Christmas. Today Christmas is the celebration of Christ, the celebration of giving, and the celebration of family and friends. People really need to remember what the original meaning of Christmas was, celebrating the birth of Christ.
