Christmas Persuasive Essay

Although, everyone knows on Christmas there are presents, that’s not what this holiday is all about. December 25 isn’t just Christmas, it is also the day believed to be the birth date of Jesus Christ. Christmas isn’t just about getting presents, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the reason for the season.

Christmas is the sight of wrapping paper annihilated by kids screaming and a Christmas of things of presents.

There is no doubt that Christmas is a religious event but nowadays Christmas becomes more commercialized, as it has been defined as a high consumption season because the gifts giving culture becomes the most important part of Christmas and the consumers want to please their children

Thanksgiving is the best holiday hands down. I’m talking even better than Christmas and Valentine's Day. I love Thanksgiving because it is during the best time of year, there is so much good food, and the meaning and purposes have stayed good and the same over the years. Christmas and Valentine's day are exciting and fun, but the little details make Thanksgiving much better. Its these little details that make the Thanksgiving holiday and season more enjoyable and pleasant.

As we approach the holiday season, we occasionally lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas while on getting a steal on our favorite pair of boots. Christmas is a time for honoring Jesus and giving. For my community service activity, I helped my grandmother decorate her house for Christmas on December 20th.

We all know what Christmas is. At least I hope so. You may not celebrate it, but you know what it is. Some have Hanukkah and others have Kwanzaa. Hanukkah is for the Jews who celebrate the victory of the Maccabees over the larger Syrian army. While with Kwanzaa, people light a kinara and give gifts to each other. This takes place over seven days. Isn't that nice? Seven days of celebration! Christmas however… Is a single day. With Christmas, the children believe in a big, old, jolly man in a red suit called “Santa Clause”. On Christmas night he comes down your chimney, leaves presents and take the milk and cookies. For one thing, that's breaking and entering and for a second thing, he leaves unknown gifts?! You don't know whats in there! It

There is nothing wrong with being confident, but what if you are overly confident? Everyone has something that they are good at and it is alright if people are better at something than you are. It is never good to think of yourself as better than anyone else or that you are of higher power than anyone else. However, it is also not good to bring people down if they are not as good at something as you are, at least they are trying. If you are not the best at something that should not discourage you or make you want to give up on it, it should make you want to work harder to get even better. In the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas Tim Burton uses the characters Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie and Dr. Finkelstein to show that is not good to be egotistic for the reason that it could lead to failure in any type of situation.

Christmas is an international holiday that is beloved by many. I, however, see Christmas for what it really is. It isn’t some festive love fest that celebrates the birth of Jesus; Christmas is an allusion. Christmas has pulled the wool over the eyes of many by presenting the temptation of gifts, therefore making them oblivious to the true meaning behind the holiday. Christmas has betrayed its lineage, it has lost sight of its purpose, and it is denouncing the powerful meanings and messages for future generations to come. This holiday has been around for centuries and over the years it has become a façade and has found a way to hide what it truly stands for.

There is a tradition for most people who celebrated Christmas. They usually always go to the mall before Christmas day and they see Santa. Every time they see Santa, he is usually a boy. But that just change. Well actually, the tradition change. There is now a girl when they go to Santa this year. The family tradition for Christmas is now not fun, or it even it is not like Christmas. It is just a new way to celebrate Christmas but not in a good way.

“One concern about Christmas comes from Christians who fear that the spiritual meanings of the season get lost in the midst of so many cultural symbols and activities” (Forbes, 2007, p. 1905). My number one concern has been and will continue to be the lack of spirituality and focus on Christ during the season, however,

Ryan Dengel, Comparative Religions instructor at Naperville North, candidly expresses, “I think it’s become fairly secular, it’s incredibly commercialized. I don’t think Christians intended for this to happen. It has become kind of an American tradition just as much as it become a Christian tradition…..We have 70% of Americans classify themselves as being Christian... That’s definitely going to have a huge influence on the culture that we live in. Non Christians have been celebrating Christmas for a while simply because you get off work, get out of school and they’re bombarded with a lot of images of things surrounded with family and gift giving. The theme of spending time with your family, no matter what your faith or tradition is, it’s

To take Christ out of Christmas is to take the holiday itself away. I myself have actually spent more money at the store's that are unafraid to put up a sign with the word Christ in them, as I'm sure other Christians have. This holiday is about more than getting gifts and giving to others. Although I do believe in giving

Christmas is actually Christians way of celebrating the deity Jesus Christ, for that is the day they celebrate his birth which occurred 2000 years ago. Even most non-Christians at least respect Jesus as a great moral teacher. In addition, few would argue that this one man has had more impact on the world than any person in history. "Christianity is responsible for the way our society is organized and for the way we currently live. So extensive is the Christian contribution to our laws, our economics, our politics, our arts, our calendar, our holidays, and our moral and cultural priorities." The concept of universal human rights and equality comes exclusively from the biblical idea that all people are created in the image of God. Christians even come into play when speaking about things that have changed such as slavery and women 's rights. Two-thirds of the members of the American abolition society in 1835 were Christian ministers. This was a big part in helping to stop slavery, even though some Christians were known to own slaves Christianity itself did help to end slavery all together. Also In ancient cultures, a wife was the property of her husband. Aristotle said that a woman was somewhere between a free man and a slave. In the Greco-Roman world it was not uncommon to throw out new female infants to die from exposure, because that’s how significantly low

I think Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. Maybe because of the special atmosphere that you can feel everywhere, in shops, restaurants , pubs and even streets, where you can hear the magical carols, or maybe it's because of its religious background, but what I can tell you for sure is that I can't think of anything more exciting than the image of the entire family preparing the Christmas Tree or fixing the Christmas dishes.
