Christmas is coming. It is celebrated(庆祝) every year on December 25 and it is the most celebrated holiday in the world. It is celebrated in Europe, North America, South America and in every country that has been touched by western culture. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Today, most people who celebrate Christmas are not Christians(基督徒). They celebrate the holiday because Christmas is an opportunity for people to show the "good feelings" they have for each other. Christmas is called "the season of giving". It is the time of year when people give gifts to others to show how much they love them or just to show how much they appreciate(感激) them. We give gifts to our family and we also give gifts to close friends. Many people also give gifts to people who have performed services for them through the year, like the postman or the cleaner. And Christmas is the time of year we remember that many people are less fortunate than us: the poor, the sick and the lonely; and we try to help them in any way we can.
Christmas is the birthday of Jesus Christ.
