Christmas

In these days when we are getting less religious prejudice, some are neglecting their own Christianity. Christmas is one of the most important festivals of Christians. It is celebrated every year all over the world on 25th December.

"Reverend John Henry Hopkins Jr. 1857, "We Three Kings of Orient Are" also known as We Three Kings and The Quest of the Magi is a much loved and sung carol during the holidays. It reminds people of the lengths that the kings went to in order to get to our Lord and Savior on the day that he was born. It is a song of hope and giving and makes many wish that they

could have made that trip with the Magi to give gifts to the baby Jesus."

It was on this day that Lord Jesus Christ was born and we all respect it as that special day. Christians wear new clothes and attend special prayers in the church on Christmas. The churches are lit up an evening before Christmas.

Preparations are made a month before, usually on the day after Thanksgiving. The commercial section goes all out, and the schools are bringing the subject up in their teachings. Christians have made many mistakes but Christianity continues with a straight forward purpose.

On Christmas, Christians sing carols and pray together in the church. All the family members decorate Christmas trees with toys, decorative lights, balloons and candles. Children believe that it is Santa Claus who brings gifts for them. Christmas is a festival of joy and peace.

In the Dance World it is recognized and dancing moves a little to the background and other things are more important such as relatives, friends and their own personal Christmas world.

It has just about everything as social media to supplement our blogs. Guy Kawasaki has just written a terrific book "What the Plus!" Paperback on sale at Amazon for only $8.
