SUMMARY:Christmas Day
DESCRIPTION:Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth (https://en.wikiped
ia.org/wiki/Nativity_of_Jesus) of Jesus Christ, obse
rved primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among
billions of people around the world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observa
nce_of_Christmas_by_country).[2][3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris
tmas#cite_note-4)[4] A feast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_day)
central to the Christian liturgical year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Liturgical_year), it is preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast (https
://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nativity_Fast) and initiates the season of Christ
mastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days (https://en.w
ikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Days_of_Christmas) and culminates on Twelfth Night. Christmas Day is a public holiday (https://en.wi
kipedia.org/wiki/Public_holiday) in many count
ries, is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians, as well as
culturally (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_culture) by many non-C
hristians, and forms an integral part of the holiday season organized around it.\nThe traditional Christmas narrati
ve recounted in the New Testament (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Testam
ent), known as the Nativity of Jesus, says that Jesus was born
in Bethlehem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethlehem), in accordance with
messianic prophecie
s. When Joseph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph) and Mary arrived in the city, the inn had no room and so they wer
e offered a stable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manger) where the Christ C
hild was soon born, with angels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels)
proclaiming this news to shepherds who then spread the word.\nThere are dif
ferent hypotheses regarding the date of Jesus' birth and in the early fourt
h century, the church fixed the date as December 25. This corresponds to th
e traditional date of the winter solstice on the Roman calendar. I
t is exactly nine months after Annunciation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Annunciation) on March 25, also the date of the spring equinox. Most Christ
ians celebrate on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, whi
ch has been adopted almost universally in the civil calendars (https://en.w
ikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_calendar) used in countries throughout the world. H
owever, part of the Eastern
Christian Churches celebrate Christmas on December 25 of the older Juli
an calendar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar), which currentl
y corresponds to January 7 in the Gregorian calendar. For Christians, belie
ving that God came into the world in the form of man (https://en.wikipedia
.org/wiki/Incarnation_(Christianity)) to atone for the sins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin) of hu
manity, rather than knowing Jesus' exact birth date, is considered to be th
e primary purpose in celebrating Christmas.\nThe celebratory customs associ
ated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S
ecularity) themes and origins. Popular modern customs of the holiday includ
e gift giving; completing an Advent calendar (https://en.wikipedia.o
rg/wiki/Advent_calendar) or Advent wreath; Christmas music (https://en
.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_music) and caroling; viewing a Nativ
ity play (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nativity_play); an exchange of C
hristmas cards; church services (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_s
ervice); a special meal; and the display of various Christmas de
corations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_decoration), including <
a title="Christmas tree" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_tree
">Christmas trees, Christmas lights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chri
stmas_lights), nativity scenes, garlands (https://en.wikipedia.org/w
iki/Garland), wreaths, mistletoe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistletoe), and holly. In addit
ion, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Sa
nta Claus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus), Father Christ
mas, Saint Nicholas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas), and
Chri
stkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Chris
tmas season and have their own body of traditions (https://en.wikipedia.org
/wiki/Christmas_traditions) and lore. Because gift-giving and many other as
pects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity, the h
oliday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers
and businesses. Over the past few centuries, Christmas has had a steadily g
rowing economic effect in many regions of the world.
