Christmas is all about giving... not giving items, bunos etc... giving your love is enough... forgiving...
just want to clarify something... coz some people, instead of Jesus Christ... some people talks about santa clause/st. nicholas... very misleading...
even kids where taught that he existed... some christmas songs is about sta clause...
i know some people dont believe that dec. 25 is the Christ's birthday... but, it doesnt matter... Jesus didnt even told us to remember his bday... he told us to remember the day he died...

Guys...take a look at this...
The modern English word Christmas comes from the Old English Christes Maesse (Christ Mass), the name of the service of Holy Communion that commemorates Christ's birth. Familiar names for Christmas from other languages, such as the Spanish Navidad and the French Noël, are derived from the Latin, Dies Natalis, "Day of the Birth."
Christmas is the season during which Christians everywhere give thanks to God the Father for the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. This joyous cycle begins on December 25, the Festival of the Nativity of our Lord, more commonly known in English-speaking countries as Christmas. Along with Easter and Pentecost, Christmas is one of the three great festival days of the church. Christmas is the climax of a longer liturgical cycle that begins with Advent, continues after Christmas with Epiphany and the Sundays that follow, and ends with Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF SANTA CLAUS AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE?
The Santa Claus tradition is based on the life of a Christian bishop of the fourth century, Nicholas of Myra, whose feast day occurs on December 6th. Christmas trees seem to have originated in medieval Germany. These two are possibly the most popular and recognizable symbols of our society's non-religious celebrations during Christmas. The following excellent articles by Dr. Richard P. Bucher contain detailed information about many of the best known secular Christmas traditions:
WHAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS?
Christmas is the church's celebration of the Incarnation, the supreme mystery that the holy and almighty God took on human flesh and was born in this world of the Virgin Mary. God became one of us in order to die for us and save us from sin, death, and the power of the devil. A mystery this profound can't be contemplated in just one day. This is why the church pauses during Advent to prepare for the Lord's coming. This is also why Christmas extends for a period of twelve days and leads directly into the breathtaking festival of the Epiphany, the day and season the church sets aside to ponder the many ways Christ revealed Himself to the world as God Incarnate.
