For the first time, there are so many presents under the Christmas tree!

Christmas.
What do you think about when you think about Christmas?
Santa Claus? Santarina? Presents?
Hmm.... Do you know the reason for the season?
The reason about why Christmas exists?
Jesus is the reason for the season.
He died on the cross for us. Without him, we're not alive today.
Christmas is celebrating the birth of Christ.
The origin of Christmas - 'Cristes Mæsse' (old english) which means 'mass of Christ'.
The origin of Santa Claus (Saint Nicholas) - begins in the 4th century with Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra. He was a generous man, particularly devoted to children. Dutch spelling of his name (Saint Nicholas - Sint Nikolaas) was eventually transformed to Sinterklaas. The Dutch brought this tradition with them to America in the 17th century and here the Anglican name of Santa Claus emerged.
Holly, Ivy and Greenery - Boughs of holly, believed to have magical powers since they remained green through the harsh winter, were often placed over the doors of homes to drive evil away. Greenery was also brought indoors to freshen the air and brighten the mood during the long, dreary winter.Legend also has it that holly sprang from the footsteps of Christ as he walked the earth. The pointed leaves were said to represent the crown of thorns Christ wore while on the cross and the red berries symbolized the blood he shed.
Candy Canes - The Christmas candy cane, shaped as a shepherds' crook, represents the humble shepherds who were first to worship the new-born Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “He (God) made Him (Christ) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” In other words, Jesus died because of our sins, so that we wouldn't have to pay the penalty demanded by true justice—eternal death.
Know better about Christmas? :)
Wishing all a Blessed Christmas and a Peaceful New Year!
