The Roots of Christmas
The holiday we cherish as Christmas is a rich tapestry woven from thousands of years of religious and secular traditions. The name 'Christmas’ is derived from the Old English 'Cristes Maesse', meaning 'Christ's Mass', a celebration of Jesus Christ's birth.
Interestingly, many traditions we adore, like decorated trees and grand feasts, trace back to ancient pagan festivals such as the Roman Saturnalia and Germanic Yule. These winter solstice festivals marked the harvest's end and the return of longer days, celebrated with joy, gift-giving, and community feasts.
Over centuries, these diverse traditions have beautifully merged, creating the Christmas we celebrate today—a global holiday of peace, joy, and love that unites us all.
The Art of Gifting
Choosing when to place gifts under the tree is a tradition unique to every family. Some love the visual splendor of a tree surrounded by presents throughout December. Others prefer the magical surprise of gifts appearing on Christmas Eve, a special delivery from Santa Claus himself.
