    This Christmas I am planning on just hanging out with friends and family. Christmas isn't about getting presents its about giving them. Sometimes we get carried away with getting all the stuff we want that we forget about other people. Christmas is also about celebrating Jesus' birth. Society has kind of ruined that meaning by putting Santa and stuff in Christmas. They even started saying X-Mas crossing out Christ. I think that we need to keep Christ in Christmas. All though it isn't wrong to get presents, I think we should keep the focus on Jesus. 

In many countries, people organize parties, weeks before the Christmas day. There is often plenty to eat during this season. People also sing Christmas carols praising baby Jesus and to celebrate his life on earth. On this special day, many people often visit orphans and the homeless as Christ did when he was on earth. Christmas is one of the earliest festivals that have been celebrated for years all over the world. The time of celebration varies in different countries, in the UK, the festive runs for 12 days after the Christmas day. During this period, people feast and make merry and this ends at the ends of the twelfth day. Christmas is my favorite holiday!
