Believing that God came into the world in the form of man to atone for the sins of humanity is the primary purpose of celebrating Christmas.
December 25th Christmas Day
The evening of December 24th Christmas Eve
Gift giving a major culture component of celebrate Christmas with people you love and care about. People celebrating Christmas also typically share a special meal together.
Christmas has become a major part of many economies around the world, and many non-christian people celebrate Christmas.
People regularly put up holiday lights around the inside & outside of their homes, typically strings of LED's of different colors, also known as Christmas Lights, were traditionally small incandescent bulbs in series to accomplish the 120vac voltage drop. Many modern LED holiday light have digital controllers that can animate color changes & operating patterns in these LED string lights.
Christmas an official holiday and the center focus of the holiday season, and paid holiday for many employees. Celebratory decorations & cultural displays of nativity scenes and figurines of different sizes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, holly, Santa Clause, Father Christmas, and Saint Nicholas are aspects of Christmas and the holiday season that surrounds Christmas that is so important to many businesses with economic growth fueled by holiday sales as a key sales period at the end of the year.
Many homes feature a Christmas Tree natural or artificial with lights and ornaments. Many business attempt to maximize revenue by the end of the year, such that many things go on sale or become discount priced after Thanks Giving on what is known as Black Friday.
The gift giving focus of Christmas encourages many people to buy gifts for other people. This generosity focus of gift giving helps people to appreciate one another by showing each other the love language of gift giving. Not everyone's love language is gift giving, as many people show love in other ways, like helping others.
I am terrible at gift shopping for example because I feel like it's hard to know exactly what someone else would like given the vast preference between people. Also, it seems like children are a natural fit for gift giving, but after being in the world for a long time.
I don't really care if anyone gives me a gift anymore. I consider the time I get to spent with people a special gift & have so many material things that I can't even keep track of all my stuff anymore. Meg & I have inherited and kept many things that other people have given us over the years, such that this contributes to our complicate inventory debacle.
We have given away a great deal of things for free as donations when moving over the years. We go through our stuff and ask a simple question "Is this thing serving me, or burdening me" or "Will I ever use this again" or "Do I get a special spark when I pick this up? / the idea is to only keep things you really like in order to streamline and reduce the number of objects in your personal collection.
People in America are so blessed with material goods that many people have large storage units they rent just for stuff, ask me how I know. Today, I am going to recover the vacuum pump and associated accessories in order to get our Freeze Dryer back online in the near future.
Christmas is a public holiday in America and many other countries.
The narrative about Christmas in the New Testament of the Christian Bible tells a story about the Nativity of Jesus, that he was born to Jospeh & Mary in an animal stabile in Bethlehem, in accordance with messianic prophecy. When Christ was born angels proclaiming this to Shepards who then went on to spread the word.
An example of gift that I love :)
