Christmas

Christmas is celebrated on December 25^th and is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ.

The origins may vary according to the holiday. The date of Jesus Christ birth is not recorded in the bible, December 25^th has been significant in ancient people celebrating during the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. This celebration has the purpose to allow conversion of pagan people.

I like Christmas because I can spend time with my family. That day I get up early to help my mother to cook. In the afternoon we manage to go to church and participate of the Eucharist. In the evening we all gather at the table to eat the Christmas dinner, after eating we gather next to the Christmas tree to open the presents.

I like everything that actually happens at Christmas: the dinner, go to church and open presents. But the thing that I like the most  is that I spend time with my beloved ones.

For me, Christmas is more than a day to receive presents. The real sense is to share and spread love. That is the best gift you can give to someone you love.
