Christmas is more than a holiday, it is a feeling. It's something that you get every year around the same time that makes you feel warm inside, and giving. It's a good feeling. And it only happens at a certain time of the year.... That's something that I would say about it;.

December 25 is just another day. What makes it Christmas is what you make it to be: your thoughts and actions.
(For the many who do not share your religion or customs, it is just December 25. After all, you are not aware of their holidays which you miss each year. What makes it Christmas is your belief.)

Christmas is the 25th of December, but it is not the date that is important. It is the idea behind Christmas and what it brings to a person.

Christmas is about generosity and kindness, and an appreciation of family and the less fortunate. That this spirit is celebrated on the 25th of December is incidental.

Christmas is not just one day of the year. It is a mentality shared by many throughout the holiday season.

Christmas (Christ's Mass) is not about presents, Santa Claus and eggnog. It is a time to show our appreciation for the birth of Jesus and what that birth meant for humanity. Christmas is a time when we should be as giving toward humanity as God was when he sent his son to be our savior.

it means that u can celebrate christmas everyday of the year, not only every december 25th. during christmas, people become more giving in terms of materials things, more forgiving too towards mistakes, and more joyful and positive towards whats in store for the future. it would be great if we can practise this everyday of the year, 365 days in one year not only during christmas holiday. make your daily state of mind.

A state of mind: a deeper issue than presents for kids...
the feeling that its important to give and spend time with friends;
the knowledge that its the official birthday of Jesus Christ.

Like how it's not just a time of the year. It's a holiday. A mood.
