What Exactly is Christmas? By: Caroline Knudsen Christmas isn’t just about the presents you receive and the food. It’s not based on all the cute decorations. It’s more than that. Christmas is about the birth of Christ. The joy and love that spreads throughout the communities everywhere. The giving; the wishes granted. The happiness people encounter. Some people may wonder why people are so cordial and magnanimous around this time of year. I will tell you this. One person begins to go spreading good cheer. And the best way to do that is singing loud for all to hear. And soon those people begin spreading and spreading and spreading. Once people get in the spirit people give people love, people celebrate. So during Christmas time, we go around spreading good cheer, so people can begin to give, to love, and to celebrate. We all know that there are many people who are less fortunate. People who cannot afford gifts or a tree. Not even a home. But during Christmas time, people realize it’s time to reach out. To grab a hand, to grant a wish. There are many organizations like Operation Christmas Child, Toys for Tots, Sugarplum Trees. All of those corporations help do that. Help grant a wish. So during Christmas time, we decide to give, to care for someone who needs it. In a little town called Bethlehem, a young Virgin named Mary came to give birth to her child. But her child was not just any new creation. She was going to give birth to Jesus the Messiah. Not one room was empty on that night, but just a small barn. And soon that night, she gave birth to our Savior in a manger. Something cattle ate from, our Savior was laid upon. So on Christmas day we celebrate Jesus’s birth. So I hope by now you have learned that Christmas isn’t just about the presents you receive or the food. It’s not based on all the cute decorations. It’s more than that. Christmas is about the birth of Christ. The joy and love that spreads throughout the communities everywhere. The giving, the wishes granted. The happiness people encounter.
