　　Origin of Christmas

　　The name Christmas is short for 'Christ's Mass'. A Mass is a kind of
　　Church service. Christmas is a religious festival. It is the day we celebrate
　　as the birthday of Jesus.

　　There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the
　　world. But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to
　　do with religion. Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are the
　　modern ways of celebrating the Christmas in the orld.

　　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 Quintus 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.

　　And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th,
　　December every year. But nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus. And
　　the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846
　　and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth
　　Century.
