Though many people might regard Christmas as nothing but a cash-grabbing holiday in order for consumers to buy and producers to get richer, there has always been a magic to it. Because of the popularity of the holiday and the evolution of mankind, people might forget from time to time that the holiday is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
The term “Christmas” is supposed to represent the mass of Christ. Even before all the presents and Hallmark movies, Christmas was used to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Jesus was the savior of humanity, and his birth marked the a great change. Though his birthday is not exactly know, people chose December 25th to celebrate the birth of a savior and the miracles to come after.
Although Christmas has mainly become materialistic since the birth of Christ, it is important to remember the inherent importance of the holiday. If Christ wasn’t born, it is hard to tell where we would be now.
