Christmas is a special time of the year where most people spend it with family and/or friends. Some families go all out and make a huge Christmas breakfast, open all their presents and then go and see their loved ones. Some families might go out to eat and get very few presents, it’s different for every family. What makes this holiday so special you might ask. Well, some say it’s because you get to spend it with loved ones, some might say because of the gifts, it’s different to everyone. Everyone has their own opinions and experiences, but why is it that Christmas is such a special holiday?
What is Christmas?
Even though Christmas started as a European holiday, mostly celebrated by Christians, people from many different beliefs or cultures also celebrate Christmas. Christians celebrate this holiday to remember the death and resurrection of the son of God, Jesus Christ. Other cultures might celebrate this holiday for different reasons, but I think that the number one reason is that so many things go on sale. You can see that even though it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, and even before Halloween, stores now have Christmas-themed everything. Christmas is the Number one most celebrated Holiday in the world. Christmas means many different things, but the fact that it’s the Number One Most Celebrated holiday in The World is crazy. We normally think of Christmas like red, green, silver, and gold colors, a Christmas tree, hot chocolate, cookies, and snuggling while watching Christmas movies.
Why is it special?
Every holiday is special, but this holiday is all about families. Sure Thanksgiving is spent with family too, but Christmas is more than that to some people. Christmas can be to remember the good times with dead loved ones or to create more memories with the people you love most. Many people associate the color red with passionate love, extreme, and adventure, especially during Christmas. Of course, the color red means many different things, but these feelings remind us a lot about Christmas. Children might think of Christmas as extreme because they are all racing to see who has the most and/or better presents. On the other hand, the color green around Christmas time can mean calmness, money, good luck, and health. For adults, Green can be associated with money or good luck. Other colors like silver and gold around Christmas time can mean things like luxury, elegance, glamorous, and love. Colors can be a reason as to why people love this holiday, Even Mcdonald’s and other companies use colors to grab people’s attention or make a place feel more at home.
Colors can impact the way we feel and think of things. Christmas has a lot of happy colors (besides red) that make this holiday special. For kids, Christmas is the time of year that they really get a break from school and spend more time with their family too. Even adults get to take time off and see their relatives, go party or chill, and take advantage of this time of the year. Christmas is one of those holidays that you can gain a lot of weight and nobody will shame you for it (besides Halloween of course!). Now, go spend time with the people you love and have a great New Year too!
