Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christ‘s birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Year‘s festival that lasted for 12 days.

The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey. The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.

The Roman‘s celebrated their god Saturn. Their festival was called Saturnalia which began the middle of December and ended January 1st. With cries of Jo Saturnalia! the celebration would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called Strenae (lucky fruits)。 The Romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. Again the masters and slaves would exchange places.

Jo Saturnalia! was a fun and festive time for the Romans, but the Christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan god. The early Christians wanted to keep the birthday of their Christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer and merriment as was the pagan Saturnalia.

Some legends claim that the Christian Christmas celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of December. The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans but also the Persians whose religion Mithraism was one of Christianity‘s main rivals at that time. The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.

The exact day of the Christ child‘s birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas.

The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgin‘s name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quirnius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Today, as soon as school was over, I went home with my classmates. Because today is a beautiful Christmas Eve. As soon as I got home, my father told me to have dinner in the international building today. I jumped three feet with joy. As soon as my mother came home, my father and I took my mother out to dinner. Along the way, I saw smiling faces on the faces of pedestrians tonight, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling. When you get to the gate of the international building, you feel a warm current. The cold wind outside the glass door is biting. Push the door into the warm spring. Santa Claus in the building kept waving to us. The green branches of the Christmas tree are covered with thousands of colorful lights. Blinked his shining eyes.

As soon as I entered the building, I went straight to the second floor. There was a Christmas song in the western restaurant. The song was melodious and made me feel comfortable. There is a picture of an amiable Santa Claus on the wall. I sat on a table with my father, mother, uncle and aunt. Everyone seemed to be a big family. Before long, those delicious dishes came. At the sight of the delicious duck meat, I couldn't control myself any more and wolfed it down. After I finished eating these delicious food, I and many children ran around the international building, up and down, watching the kind Santa Claus and the colorful Christmas trees.

Christmas is a good holiday to receive gifts. When I was a child, I always dreamed that one day Santa Claus could come to my house and give me beautiful Christmas gifts. When I grow up, I know that when I was a child, those gifts were given by my parents. Today's Christmas, I pestered my parents to give me gifts. Mom told me with a smile. My mother smiled and told me, "when you wake up tomorrow morning, Santa's gift will be sent back." although I know that the gift is from my parents, at night, I still took a pair of socks and put them on the head of the bed. When I woke up in the morning, I found a 35 yuan book card stuffed in my socks. I was so happy that I jumped on the bed and shouted, "long live Santa Claus!" I took the book card to school to show off to my classmates.

I love Christmas!
