Why is Christmas celebrated?

Christmas is one of those auspicious festivals that bring about the joy and merriment of the winter season. It is believed by many that Jesus Christ was born on this day and hence the name of the festival. Churches are adorned with glory on the day of Christmas and feasts are arranged on Christmas Eve. Christmas is truly one of the most popular and majorly celebrated festivals all over the world with people from both Christian and non-Christian communities taking part in the celebrations. Though Christmas is primarily observed to commemorate the birth of Jesus, it is widely celebrated for a number of additional reasons. A few of those reasons include homecoming, family get-togethers, feasts and exchange of gifts.

Christmas has gained immense popularity as a major festival because it is the sole celebration of the winter holiday season, thus, bestowing people a reason to get out of their home and enjoy the chill of December. One of the most popular myths associated with Christmas is about a big fat man named Santa Clause dressed in red and white robes who rides a sleigh run by reindeers bringing gifts for children on the midnight of Christmas Eve. The folklore has since become one of the major reasons of Christmas celebrations with little children hoping to get attractive gifts from Santa.

Merry Christmas

Though anyone has hardly seen the real Santa, most children’s Santa is their own father who dress like the man and buys gifts for them. As many non-Christian countries have adhered to Christmas celebrations, sharing of gifts have become an inevitable custom. Christmas parties are organized in many households where friends and family gather and exchange gifts to celebrate the cause of the very day. In Christmas themed parties, Christmas trees are decorated with tinsels and lights and fruit cakes are prepared. A feast is, thus, surely one of the integral parts of the festival of Christmas.

When it comes to sharing of Christmas gifts between loved ones, there can be no compromise in selecting the best from the lot. Bringing about a smile on someone’s face is perhaps the greatest gift we can get in return and to help you out in choosing outstanding gifts for your family and friends, we have shortlisted seven unique Christmas gift ideas that are sure to make the evening more special than ever before.
