Christmas

Christmas is a festivity of the christianism where people celebrate the birth of Christ.  It is celebrated the night of the 24th December in great part of the world and most families get together to celebrate it. They eat turkey, cod, pork and lamb and a Christmas tree have place in one corner of the house. They also make the Advent wreath and sing Christmas carols around the hearth. This is a tradicion of the Catholic Church, for instance. Nativity scenes are put on the tables; they represent the Christ's birth where shepherds, animals, The Three Wise Men attend and finally, the star is placed on the top of the tree.

On the other hand, Anglican and Orthodox Church have different ways of celebrate it. Anglican Church also celebrate Christmas the 24th December. However, Orthodox Church celebrate it the 7th January. English speakers use the word Christmas that means the mass of the Christ; spanish speakers use the word "Navidad" to refers to the nativity of the Christ; For instance, in Germany, they day "Frohe Weihnachten" that means the night of blessing.

Despite not believing in Christ, some families celebrate Christmas because it is custom and tradition. Moreover, this is a season of gladness and happiness when people have a rest and reunite with their family. This is a gesture that everybody likes and in Christmas they attempt to be happy and enjoy the holidays. Hence, I love Christmas although currently it is becoming a business because it fill us of illusion and reminds me the best times of my life: it is a time when I am happy and I enjoy being with my family and friends and giving and receiving presents from 'Santa Claus' and 'The Three Wise Men'.
