We all know what Christmas means: lots of gifts and a fat, bearded man being glorified for an entire season. But, some people tend to forget that Christmas actually originated as a way for Christians to celebrate the birth of their savior, Christ. Although there are many people who encourage others to “Keep Christ in Christmas,” you don’t have to ascribe to the Catholic faith in order to enjoy the season. Whatever religion you identify as, Christmas is meaningful in many ways.
Christmas has a way of cheering everyone up.
It gives people something to talk about, even if it’s just wishing them “happy holidays” in passing.
There are plenty of excuses to spend time with family during the holidays.
Christmas movies have a way of bringing people together.
Decorating a tree is a tradition that anyone can enjoy.
Watching little kids enjoy the magic of Christmas season is thrilling.
Christmas tunes are absolutely impossible to get out of your head.
Food. A lot of food.
Everyone hopes for a white Christmas.
And Christmas becomes a time of giving, no matter what religion you may be.
