Because Christmas represents "Christ's" birthday and is a Christian holiday, a lot of thankfulness and good will is spread about. Even non-Christians get into this spirit of magic during this time of the year. Decorations, Christmas trees, singing, baking, beautiful lights and activity fills the air. It's a time of year where people are out, communicating, shopping, laughing. It is the most cheerful time of the whole year and this is how another year closes only to open up a fresh and hopeful New Year with good things to come.

Well if you're religious it should be the best because that's when Jesus was born. If he hadn't been born then he couldn't have died for our sins, etc. If you're not religious, it's great for being off school, getting loads of presents, and stuffing your face full of sweets and great food!

I believe that the spirit of Christmas, in spite of all the crass commercialism, has changed less in the past two thousand years than has the spirit of any other holiday, religious or otherwise.

Whether you want to go back to Bedford Falls, New York, and follow George Bailey and Clarence around, and see George save Mr. Gower, the pharmacist, from a horrible mistake in filling a prescription that might have killed a sick person, only to receive from Mr. Gower, who was sick with grief as a result of just having received word that his son had been killed in action in the war, a cuff on the ear that permanently damaged his hearing, but continued to think only of Mr. Gower and not of himself ;

or whether you want to observe Ebenezer Scrooge grudgingly allow Bob Cratchit to put one more small piece of coal on the fire to take the chill out of the office on Christmas Eve, and just as grudgingly agree to give Bob Christmas day off, and see Scrooge be guided by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future, and his reactions to what he sees in each place, and the way his heart melts to see Tiny Tim in the bosom of his family's love,and to learn of Tim's grim prognosis;

and to watch as Scrooge's nephew and the nephew's wife resist all temptation to give back to Scrooge in spades just what he was dishing out to them in his cynicism about Christmas and the Christmas spirit, and to treat him kindly and speak to him softly in spite of his disagreeable attitude;

or to watch Scrooge's transformation and redemption;

Or to come forward again in time to meet Kris Kringle at Macy's Department Store and iobserve as he, virtually single-handedly, reinfuses the spirit of Christmas into the jaded people of New York;

Or to go back to the time of King Arthur and the Round Table, or further back to the time of the Emperor Constantine, and observe the way in which they celebrated Christmas then, and to realize that in spirit it was very little different from the way we celebrate it now;

Or go to church at midnight on Christmas Eve and sing Adeste Fidelis and other carols that have been handed down to us through centuries, unchanged, until we were all steeped like teabags in the spirit of Christmas and have come to feel spiritually united by it;

The story of Christmas, and the way people feel about it and have felt about it from the beginning, with hardly any change, and the good will it engenders ("I'd like to offer a toast to my brother, George, the richest man in town"), all these things are annual revelations, epiphanies, that keep the spirit of Christmas alive and unchanging. I agree completely that it's the best holiday of them all, and it has nothing to do with gifts or office parties or anything other than what it really means and what it really stands for.
