Sharing Christmas

Although nominally a Christian holiday, Christmas is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians worldwide and many of its popular celebratory customs have pre-Christian or secular themes and origins. Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift-giving, music, an exchange of Christmas cards, church celebrations, a special meal, and the display of various decorations; including Christmas trees, lights, garlands, mistletoe, nativity scenes, and holly. In addition, several figures, known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, and Santa Claus, among other names, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season.
Christmas is a magical time of the year. It brings out the best in us. Our hearts are filled with love, giving ,sharing.shopping,cooking and decorating and all are  part of the wonder of Christmas.

It is a time to remember the true meaning of Christmas and to open our hearts to friends and family. All of us have our own special way of celebrating Christmas.
