How To Celebrate Christmas

Many of our Christmas customs began long before Jesus was born. Came from previous festivals had nothing to do with the Christian church. Long ago people had midwinter festivals when the days were shorter and weaker sunlight. They believed that their ceremonies would give the sun back their power. The Romans, for example, held the feast of the Saturnalia, around 25 December. They decorated their homes with evergreens to remind them of Saturn, their god of harvest, to return the following spring. Some of these customs and traditions were adopted by early Christians as part of its celebrations of the birthday of Jesus. In Victorian times some new ideas, like Santa Claus, Christmas cards and crackers were added to the celebrations.
