Christmas isn't always about giving pressies - how about thinking of something you could do together.  Concert, or any other hobby that you may have.

For people all over to believe that Christmas is not about material things it is about love.  And being with someone you love. \n Family which can consist in many different types.

Christmas. The sights of the lights, the smells of the food cooking, the tastes of things that are only cooked at this time of year, the sounds of choirs and songs only brought out at this time, the feel of the love of God, in giving us such a special gift of His own Son...Jesus. That's what it's all about. And it's the most special day of the year for me. <*)))><

In early times religeous events were taken seriously Most important of these was easter and christmas.On christmas day the people celebrated by feasting and sharing thier good fortune and went to church to pay homage to god.The church set aside a box so the more affluent citizens could donate money for the poor The box was opened the next day and distributed to the poor.Hence boxing day

Father Christmas exists in all of us. It is the spirit of the season that has its roots in the Christian miracle of Jesus' birth.\n\nIt's not so much the gifts and the decorations or the pagan Christmas tree, as much as it is the feelings of good will and charity that go along with the season.\n\nNow if we could get this spirit of Christmas to continue throughout the year, we'd have something. Can anyone say world peace?

Christmas is no longer just a Christian holiday. My family is not religious yet we've celebrated Christmas every year. For us it was never about Jesus; it was all about Santa. (Well, for my dad it's about Festivus and the Winter Solstice. He too is a bit of a Scrooge but gave in a few years ago when he decided that he just wouldn't call it Christmas). For me, Christmas is a time to show/tell people that I love them. We live hectic lives and sometimes we forget to tell the people in our lives how much we care about and appreciate them. Christmas is a good time to reiterate how much I love my family and friends. Do your best to ignore our conspicuous consumer society and tell the people that you love how you feel! Plus you can enjoy all the parties and delicious food!

Christmas is the most important day for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. This is the most reconized celebrated holiday all over the world.  It is a great to go to church and sing praises for  him and God.  Also families and friends gather to exchange gifts and eat great food for this time.

Buy things throughout the year as they get more expensive at Christmas time. I buy things on sale, even buy new packaged stuff at yard sales and thrift shops. Also right after Christmas things are marked down really cheap in the stores. Some families celebrate the holidy after Christmas when things are on sale.

Christ's birthday, but most people think of it as a holiday getting together with family and friends...presents....unfortunately people get so tied up with that that they miss the true meaning of Christmas =(

Christmas is a time of celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.  We make it about shopping, parties, gifts and momentary happiness.  In truth, the happy feeling we have during the Christmas season, should be with us all the time, all year long.  We tend to forget that without Jesus Christ, there would be no "season".
