As the night descends, a gentle hush falls over the world on Christmas Eve. Families gather around crackling fires, and candlelights dance merrily, casting soft glows upon smiling faces. Carols weave through the cold air of December, harmonizing with the laughter of children and the distant jingle of bells, while the comforting scent of pine and cinnamon adds warmth to the magical spirit of Christmas.
25 December is celebrated as Christmas across the globe to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, whose teachings formed the basis of Christianity.
The gospels of Luke and Matthew say that Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem to Mary. Angels foretold Jesus' birth. The Star of Bethlehem led the Three Wise Men to the stable, who came bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Many Christians attend special church services called the Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
During Christmas, homes and churches are adorned with festive decorations like Christmas trees, lights, wreaths, and ornaments. The Christmas tree is lit up and decorated with ornaments and holds an angel or star on top, symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem guiding the Wise Men to the stable.
Children traditionally leave cookies and milk for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, though this custom differs worldwide. In New Zealand, Santa prefers beer and pineapple, while in Italy, he might receive clementines.
Christmas carols are melodies passed through generations. Carols are sung in churches, homes, and public spaces.
Gift-giving during this time represents generosity and love, stemming from the Three Wise Men's biblical offerings. Charity is practiced, and donations are contributed to show compassion and goodwill during the holiday season.
As we embrace the spirit of giving, the Crazy Creatives wish you all a Merry Christmas filled with love and kindness.
