MERRY
CHRISTMAS
By
Thomas Haibach
 On
December 25th every year, the entire Western world
celebrates Christmas. This day marks the birth of Jesus Christ, who
was the founder of Christianity. He was born in Bethlehem, Israel.
One of the familiar scenes associated with Christmas
is the crib scene with the shepherds and the animals. This scene
recalls the birth of Jesus. The feast of Christmas is both a
religious and a national holiday. It’s the time that the religious
followers go to a ceremony to worship the day that Christ was born
and also pray for peace and joy to the world. Everybody
exchanges greetings by saying “Merry Christmas” and also
exchanges presents.
Santa Claus is the main attraction for the kids, as Christmas is
mainly a joyful day for them. He’s the fat man dressed in red
garments and has a big white beard. There’s also the Christmas
tree and the decorations that build up the atmosphere. This is the
time for most Western families to unite and have a traditional lunch
or dinner which is roast turkey in cold areas like Europe and
America and sea foods for hot areas such as Australia and New
Zealand. The holiday period is usually from Christmas Eve December
24th to New Year’s Day which is January 1st. Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year
is the chant that’s on everybody’s lips at that time of the
year. Here
are some beautiful pictures about Christmas. You may copy them and
make a beautiful Power Point, then send it to you best friends.
