Christmas is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural
and commercial phenomenon. For two millennia, people around the world
have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both
religious and secular in nature. Christians celebrate Christmas Day as
the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader
whose teachings form the basis of their religion. Popular customs
include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church,
sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa
Claus to arrive. December 25–Christmas Day–has been a federal holiday in
the United States since 1870. Please observe this day with family and friends and all those you care for. Remember to Bless those who have passed on before us and continue to celebrate your life with happiness and love for all mankind.
