Why do we celebrate Christmas


Christmas is the most important and broadly celebrated Christian festival which falls on December 25 of every year. Celebrated with rejoicements, it is considered as the holy day when Jesus Christ was born. This occasion, in honor of savior god, was first time hosted in 336 AD.

On this auspicious day, god sent his beloved and only son to earth, for the welfare of humankind. This festival is the merriment of incarnation of our creator.

There are multiple stories related to Christmas which expands the celebration causes. Another story talks about Saint Nicholas, a kind saint who used to distribute gifts to poor and helpless kids, especially the poverty-struck daughters for rewarding the noble spirits. In his memory, many people replicate that cheerful red and white costume with the famous ‘Ho-Ho-Ho’ giggling sound while distributing gifts among small children to surprise them.

Today, Christmas and Santa Claus are inseparable. Christmas will remain an awesome joyful occasion, known for the huge family gathering, the birth of Jesus Christ, the nobility of Santa Claus, holidays, beginning of spring and parties.
