What’s Christmas?
It’s a wonderful season. The time of being thankful, for many it’s a time for getting presents, but for very, very, very little people of the world celebrate Christmas as a religion of Jesus’s birthday. Today I’m here to tell you the origin of Christmas in different ways, and in ways connecting to the way you celebrate it today.
Santa – Man of Presents
Many people including me celebrates Christmas this way. I celebrate this way and another way. Anyway, this version of Christmas is about Santa. When I was about 5, my mom told me about Santa. He’s the man that comes on Christmas, to deliver gifts and joy to children around the world. But, has anyone told you the orin story of Santa Clause? So (found on the internet) Santa Clause was first known as St. Nicholas or St.Nick. St.Nick was a generous person in the 3 century. Then, around Christmas time, ‘Nick traveled the world, giving families riches and food. Eventually, it involved to toys for kids as if now. Nick was a generous person and he is the reason there is a Santa Clause today! I’m pretty sure you all celebrate Christmas because of that, but there’s more.
(A Short Paragraph) X – Mas
Well, X – Mas is just Christmas for people who don’t believe in religions or God. Usually they just celebrate the Santa version. Not everyone believes in Christ!
REAL CHRIST – MAS!
This is the Christmas I know! It’s Christmas, and real Christmas! This version is for people who believe in Christ and believe that Christmas is (actually) Jesus’s birthday. Just like how we celebrate birthdays, so does Jesus. His birthday is December 25. After his sacrifice to us, it was later called Christmas. Just like me I celebrate Christmas and Santa version. I just really enjoy this way because it’s like celebrating a birthday for someone who sacrificed themselves for us. I hope you learn something about Christmas and that there are more things than just Santa and presents. It’s about thankfulness and Jesus’s birthday.
