Christmas was first celebrated in the year 98, but it was forty years later before it was officially adopted as a Christian festival. It was not until about the fifth century that the day of its celebration became permanently fixed on the 25th of December. Up to that time it had been irregularly observed at various times of the year - in December, in April, and in may, but most frequently in January.
Even though Christmas has been celebrated for hundreds of years, not all have looked favorably on the Christmas holiday. The pilgrim fathers, who condemned all church festivals, spent their first Christmas in America working hard all day long amid cold and stormy weather, and commenced the building of the first house in Plymouth 1620.
Christmas is celebrated around the world but in different ways. In France children put their shoes in front of the fireplace so that father Christmas can fill them.
We should see Christmas as a spiritual or a holiday to be with family and friends, people often see Christmas as a give and receive gifts celebration, but it's not about what you get, it's about with who you are.
