Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. It is time of reunion and celebrations with family and friends but also of solidarity of those most in need.
On Christmas Eve, the night of December 24, the day before Christmas is celebrated. Traditions vary from country to country, but it is quite common a family reunion dinner and exchange gifts. The night of 24 to 25, Santa Claus brings gifts to children.
Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25 and commemorates the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem in the Catholic Church, Anglican Church, in some Prostestant Communities and in the most of the Orthodoxes Churches.
The nativity represents the birth of Jesus by a mockup of Bethlehem and its vicinity, in which the main figures are the stable where Jesus was born, the Holy Family, animals, shepherds and the Three Wise Men.
Another typical decoration is the Christmas Tree, symbolizing the love of God and has its origin in Germany where the evangelist St. Boniface stablished the tradition.
And last but least, another typical and essential elements are Christmas carols and songs. Christmas carols refers to the birth of Christ and the Holy Family and the songs refers to Christmas. Next you will find the link to one of my favorite songs "All I want for Christmas is you" of Mariah Carey. Hope you like it and Merry Christmas!!
