Keeping Christ in Christmas
By:Anna Mullenax
The Truth
You may think Christmas is all about presents, colorful lights, and Santa Clause. It is, and it isn't. Christmas is also about Jesus Christ's birth and about giving to others. To learn more about the truth to Christmas read the passages below.
Truth
Jesus was born in a manger in a barn around Christmas. Christmas is the day Catholics celebrate him because we don't know his real birthday. Wise men came bringing gifts. Shepherds came also following a star.
Fun
At Christmas we give presents to our friends and family members. We celebrate by putting up decorated trees and make cookies. Some people celebrate other holidays such as Hanukkah.
Relation
We celebrate Jesus on Christmas AND give gifts to family and friends. Catholics usually set up an Nativity Scene honoring Jesus' birth.
Friends
Christmas is also about having fun with friends. I like Christmas because I think it brings out the best in everyone. Christmas time helps me relax even though everyone is always in a hustle and a bustle. 3 words that describe me are (words given by Sophie, Reilly, and Marina) Artistic (Marina) , cares for others and is there when I need her (Sophie), fabulous (Reilly). I'm not really sure how they came up with this stuff but it sure feels great to her it from them (thanks guys)!
