CHRISTMAS. While this Christian holiday is celebrated in
honor of the birth of Jesus Christ, it is perhaps unique insofar as it is also
celebrated by people of many faiths; even those of no faith.

Over the centuries, celebration of Christmas has
evolved to include religious observance, the giving of gifts, decoration of
trees and homes and city streets, the erection of Nativity scenes, an endless
creation of heartwarming stories, joyous songs, caroling, parades and gathering with family and
friends.
The religious observance is for the purpose of
honoring the birth of the Savior; the giving of gifts symbolizes the gifts
brought to the Christ-child by the Three Wise Men and gathering with family and
friends is for the purpose of sharing fellowship and love with those who are
most important to us. (The parades and decorations and so forth are,
well, just for fun!)
All of these things serve to create fond and
everlasting memories for young and old, alike. No matter where you are in the world, you are invited to share
