  • Christmas Around the World What Is Christmas? Christmas Is a Religious Holiday Which Celebrates the Birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, on the 25Th December
    Christmas around the World What is Christmas? Christmas is a religious holiday which celebrates the birth of the son of God, Jesus Christ, on the 25th December. Although it is a Christian holiday, it is actually one that derives from a lot of Pagan traditions. The Christmas tree is a 17th century German invention that is said to have been developed from the Pagan practice of bringing greenery indoors for decoration in winter. Father Christmas is also thought to be a modern incarnation of old Pagan spirits flying through the sky in winter. Celebrations Christmas is celebrated by millions of people all over the world, Christian and non-Christian. It is a time of gathering with family and friends. There are some mostly universal traditions, such as decorating houses with lights, trees, candles and having a Christmas dinner. There are also some very unique traditions, specific to certain countries. For example, the people of India like to decorate their houses and streets with colourful, folded paper stars. The Polish serve a total of 12 dishes, one for each disciple, at their Christmas dinner and the Spanish leave out hay-filled boots or shoes at night so that, by the next morning, the hay would be replaced with chocolate, presents or money. In Ireland, the people like to light candles in the windows of their homes to act as a guide for Joseph and Mary to travel to their resting place. The candles are often red and decorated with sprigs of holly. Over in the West Indies, the people like to clean their homes thoroughly before decorating for Christmas.
