Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25th as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an Octave. The traditional Christmas narrative, the Nativity of Jesus, delineated in the New Testament says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in accordance with messianic prophecies; when Joseph and Mary arrived in the city, the inn had no room and so they were offered a stable where the Christ Child was soon born, with angels proclaiming this news to shepherds who then disseminated the message furthermore. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians, as well as culturally by many non-Christians, and forms an integral part of the holiday season.
Christmastime is the joy of us receiving a Redeemer, Fallen in the garden of eden man was in dirw need of help which came through the incarnation of Jesus who died on Good Friday to save the world.
It is a manifestation of God's love to world. Let is show this same gesture to those who cannot afford the means to celebrate Christmas, it also a season of helping the needy among us, sharing with others, helping the poor, visiting of orphanage homes, hospitals, prison yards, sharing and show love to the rejected etc by touching lives Christ presences will truly be felt in the world .
At Christmas we must be careful not to borrow to celebrate because Christmas is beyond just eating and drinking, wearing new dress, smoking, marrying new wife, buy new cars opening and lunching new houses etc.
After the festivities we shall continue with life. Anywhere you find yourself celebrate there. You must not travel spending unnecessary money in this difficult times will not do us well.
Celebrate wisely in spirit filled as God Children and redeemed people.
