because every year people can get together with family and friends, celebrate a wonderful time of the year and you get two days in order to do this and see the expressions of happiness on their faces when they open up their gifts.

Christmas is a season for sharing, forgiving all that has happened throughout the year, and getting prepared for a bright new year.That's why its merry.

oddly enough, the "merry" part comes from the pagan greeting "merry meet".

It's not "merry"... It's MARY. And Jesus and Joseph, too!
