Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday that marks the traditional birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas combines the celebration of Jesus' birth with various other traditions and customs, many of which were influenced by ancient winter festivals such as Yule[1] and Saturnalia. Christmas traditions include the display of Nativity scenes and Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Popular Christmas themes include the promotion of goodwill, giving, compassion, and quality family time.
Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth.[2]
Christmas is celebrated in most countries around the world, owing to the spread of Christianity and Western culture, along with the enduring popularity of wintertime celebrations. Various local and regional Christmas traditions are still practiced, despite the widespread influence of American and British Christmas motifs disseminated by film, popular literature, television, and other media.

Do you twirl (baton)??
<< national champ in case.
Well, xmas isn't a religious thing for me. Jesus was born in the spring so I find it ridiculous to celebrate the 25th as that. To me it's being with my family and having fun. Something that doesn't happen too often during the year, but that day everyone drops school and work and we talk.. drink.. open presents etc. I also really love buying great presents for my family and seeing their reaction. For some reason I have a thing for making ppl cry when they open them.

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ. On a secular note, it's about buying gifts and retail's bottom line.

Christmas is about God's gift to the world, the birth of Jesus Christ.

Dear CHS _ Twirl:
Christmas is a selected day to recall the - exact moment - the Holy Spirit brought into this world His gift to us: The One Who would demonstrate the Nature of God, our Creator. A hush fell upon the world, as we all remembered. . .
Love, Lana
