"Christmas" is a compound word originating in the term "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Cristemasse, which is from Old English Crstesmsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038 followed by the word Cristes-messe in 1131.Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ and a widely observed holiday , celebrated generally on Dec 25.A Feast central to d Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season n initiates d twelve days of Christmastide, which ends after the twelfth night.
Christmas Day is celebrated as a major festival n public holiday in countries around the world, including many whose populations are mostly non-Christian. In some non-Christian countries, periods of former colonial rule introduced the celebration (e.g. Hongkong); in others, Christian minorities or foreign cultural influences have led populations to observe d holiday. Countries such as Japan, where Christmas is popular despite there being only a small number of Christians, have adopted many of d secular aspects of Christmas, such as gift-giving, decorations, and Christmas trees.
A Christmas Poem by Joseph P. Martino
Two thousand years ago the King of Kings was born.
'The Lamb of God' later made to feel the thorn,
If his words are accepted and not scorned,
They will make us all reborn.
Though God's grace, Joseph and Mary presented
A gift to the world that day, which we can all repay,
by living the ten commandments each and every day.
Try to remember and keep in your heart and mind
Jesus's gospel while here on Earth,
Redemption not a life lived in constant mirth.
Peace on Earth, good will toward man
Everyone should try it, whenever they can.
The Lord gave us the option and choice of 'free will,'
Now it's up to us to fit the bill.
So when you're Christmas shopping for family and friends,
and money is tight at both ends,
Remember that the greatest gift of all,
Is your love of Jesus in the manger stall.
