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

Christmas can have many meaning to different people depending on how they interpret it. However, if looking at the Christian aspect of it. The

In late October 2016 there was one event that changed my already amazing life. No, it wasn’t Halloween, it was my Uncle’s wedding. It was at a nice church, with an amazing lobby, many Sunday school rooms, and a beautiful sanctuary. The sanctuary was decorated with fall designs specifically for the wedding. Everything seemed to be perfectly in place for the wedding. But before any wedding, no matter how big or how small, there’s the bridal shower and the rehearsal.

She and her daughter made the invitations out of pretty paper, beads and satin they had on hand, and they delivered them in person.

We walk into our first-hour class, begin talking about me and Caleb's wedding and how she wants to be a bridesmaid for sure. According to Emma, my wedding is going to have a white chocolate fountain, the bridesmaid's dresses are going to be darker pink (in honor of Hello Kitty), and last but not least we're going to get married on the beach. I like little Emma's fantasy, but I'm not sure about the bridesmaid's dresses being dark pink. Dark pink dresses aren't the way to go in my book maybe like a pale pink not a darker pink like Emma was talking

Christmas is all about giving, friends and family gathering, feasting together, with beautiful music, decorations and singing Christmas carols throughout the neighborhood. It is a time of ornaments, red and green decoration, silver bells, holly, mistletoe and colorful lights. They say that it is the season to be jolly, but how did Christmas become such a jolly and most wonderful holiday? Understanding the religious and cultural aspects of the Medieval Christmas, such as the origin of Christmas and the traditional celebrations of Christmas, can help us to understand and celebrate today’s Christmas more meaningfully.

Christmas is a holiday that has been celebrated for hundreds of years, but not in the ways you’d think. All around the world, there are different traditions revolving around Christmas, like Father Christmas in Britain and Santa Claus on the North American continent. There are also many foods related to the holiday, such as candy canes, ham, goose, and many more delectable food items from all over the globe. The modern Christmas in North America wasn’t like the ways we remember and celebrate today only a few hundred years ago, because they didn’t even celebrate it in Boston, “In the early years of Christianity, Easter was the main holiday; the birth of Jesus was not celebrated.” (History of Christmas). The true history of Christmas is far different from what you might imagine, since Santa Claus was a widely disputed person, from him being, “described as everything from a “rascal” with a blue three-cornered hat, red waistcoat, and yellow stockings,”(Santa Claus) to him being a jolly old elf in a red suit. Even though all the history of Christmas might not be what you think it is, it can still be good to know what the true history of Christmas is. (“History of Christmas”)

Christmas isn't just about getting presents, this special holiday is about spending time with your family and making memories that you will always remember. There are many Christmas traditions that people do on Christmas Eve like decorating cookies, eating a traditional Christmas feast, and leaving milk and cookies out for Santa Claus. Christmas is also very important religiously because Jesus was giving birth on this special day so we also celebrate the birth Jesus Christ. On Christmas Eve Santa Claus hops down our break chimneys and delivers small and tall presents under our Christmas Trees and fills our stockings with small toys to enjoy, then he also eats the yummy and delicious treats that we had left for him prior to us going to sleep in our warm and cozy beds.

age. In the past it has been about celebrating Christ’s birth with family, but the world has turned it into a violent Black Friday, and a mockery towards Christians. Followers of Christ are people as everyone else, but the world seems to believe that it is acceptable to make fun of those who think something different than themselves. The way this world signifies Christmas has to be changed by the generations to come. The significance of Christmas has to be found again.

Throughout the world there are many holidays that connect with people’s culture. Since you live your daily life in the same culture you may not notice that you have certain ways or traditions of doing things. For me Christmas has large role in my culture. It has a specific meaning to me and my family, it helps us connect with one another while enjoying family favorite recipes.

One thing that makes Christmas such a special holiday is the fact that it combines festivities and religion, two things that have driven humanity for centuries. The fact that Christianity is the most popular religion around the world, drives anticipation for a day tied to the centerpiece of the religion. There is also the historical context of religion and festivals that has stake in many cultures throughout history. These two things make Christmas uniquely positioned to drive anticipation in the lives of people around the world.

Christmas is arguably the biggest holiday in the western world. It is the holiday that brings forth the spirt of joy, giving’s and love. Christmas is also the year that brings forth remembrance of Jesus Christ’s birth. However, the nativity story, the story of Christ birth, has much more meaning to it then what people reflect on it as. When the Nativity story is told it seems the main focus or the “happy ending” is always the savior birth. That arguably is not what the Bible fully attended the focus to remain on. The Nativity story is more than just a story about Christ birth; it is a metaphor that paints the picture of the two people’s faith in God and ultimately the gospel in a nutshell.

Either way is appropriate for this style wedding. There are laid back brides in cowboy boots, and formal brides who arrive in a horse drawn carriage. The choice is up to the couple. The decor will determine the wedding vibe. The casual couple may want to opt for rustic decor, lawn games, and barbecue as the main course. The more formal couple can keep things black tie elegant. Gorgeous centerpieces, tons of candles, and food befitting

Christmas is the annual festival celebrating the birth of Jesus on the 25th December, at least that is what it began as initially. Since it has expanded into an international phenomenon for consumption, taking priority over our everyday practices of life (Michel De Certeau, 1980). Our time we spend divided between work and leisure in accordance to the codes and conventions of society shifts, Christmas derails these expectations. Yet surprisingly Christmas gains little attention in terms of social research, despite the fact that it can be explored diversely. The inquiry ‘What is Christmas?’ links to multiple aspects of social research. The aspects of Christmas can be subdivided into the following; religion, commercialism, gift-giving, social relationships, sensualism and mythology. This essay will analyse these fundamentals of Christmas through both psychological and sociological perspectives, as the theories among these two social sciences are best suited to the elements which make up Christmas itself.
