Christmas Celebration

Many people celebrate Christmas but don’t believe in God or Jesus. It’s a holiday that many people will celebrate together by giving each other gifts and spent time with family. The day of Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ. It is usually celebrated on December 25 each year. Many people around the world will usually celebrate it. It’s a time for family and friends to come together to celebrate a time of joy and love. People also think that on the day of Christmas it should be a day of peace around the world. Little kids will be exited on the day of Christmas because they often get many gifts or present from their friends and family. Many of them will also believe in Santa Claus. On the night before Christmas, kids will prepare a list or a letter to Santa telling him what they wish for. They will also have some cookies and drink on the table for him to eat. Kids have been told that if they are bad and naughty then they will get coal. But if they are nice then they will get gifts. In their mind Santa Claus is dressed wearing a red coat with white collar, a Santa hat, black boots and leather belt with white bearded. They believe that on that night which is called Christmas Eve, Santa Claus will deliver presents with a sleigh and many reindeer to the well behaved children’s. He will come through the chimney on the roof. Then slide down and walk through the fire place. Then on the morning day of Christmas kids will wake up and presents will be under the Christmas tree. Some kids don’t believe in Santa Clause because they think it’s not real. They might have found out and knows about it. Some kids might be bad and never really got presents. It could also be when they were a kids their family never told them about how Santa Claus exist and how they deliver gifts. They think it is their parents the one who got the present to them and pretend to be Santa. Even though some kids know it’s not true but they still pretend to believe in it.

    Stephen Tobolowsky relays what he labels his “first crisis of belief” in his article “The Santa Conspiracy.” This “crisis of belief” occurs when he has a conversation with his six-year- old friend about his own questioning of whether Santa is real. Tobolowsky is struck by the confrontational and profound statement of this friend: “’It is always easier to want to believe in something than to say it never was true.’” Stephen is five years old when he is jolted by this philosophical maxim from his friend, Dwayne, so much so that over fifty years have passed, and this exchange is still pivotal to Stephen.…

    Hey Virginia, there is more than just a Santa Claus. Nowadays, Americans have either forgotten or ignored Christmas traditions put in place over 1500 years ago. They would rather indulge in the gifts and shopping to please their family than sit back and enjoy the holiday. This new mindset has led Christmas, Hanukkah, and other seasonal festivals to lose their religious intent through the past centuries by the hands of both people and markets. The original purpose of Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, has been trampled and overshadowed by a marketeer’s interpretation of how to represent the holiday. Santa and snowmen have become the faces of Christmas, instead of the Son…

    Skewed thoughts of how and why to celebrate Christmas has trampled the faith-based version of the holiday. In movies widely popular in the younger generation, the celebration of Christmas revolves around unrealistic traditions, such as receiving gifts from Santa and his reindeer. Reality, however, differs. Christmas should revolve less around fantasies and materialistic gifts and more toward appreciation, family, and Jesus Christ (the reason for the season). For instance, movies such as “Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer” directed by Larry Roemer and the many sequels of “Santa Claus” directed by John Pasquin have plots about elves and reindeer trying to impress Santa. Adults focus on the legend of Saint Nicholas when teaching their children about Christmas causing them to lose sight of its religious…

    Being stalked, being watched by unseen eyes, knowing there are consequences for any preceived wrong action taken. It is enough to make anybody go insane with paranoia. People do not know how to escape its gaze; the gaze of the ever watchful Elf on the Shelf. In “Let's Bench The Elf on the Shelf: Is the Elf on The Shelf a dangerous parental crutch?” written by Dr. David Kyle Johnson, he makes a clear argument for why such a toy should never be exploited on children. Accordingly, some of the numerous reasons for why it should be avoided are that it hinders children's abilities in seeing reality along with injuring their trust of their parents, scarring them in the process.…

    When we speak of Christians, we all know that this is a commonly known holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Believe it or not, I grew up in a Christian home where we did not celebrate Christmas. My parents believe that Christmas is a pagan holiday, Jesus was not born on December 25th, and that the bible doesn 't ask us to celebrate Jesus ' birthday. Well now that I 'm older, I 've decided to show pluralism to the Christians who celebrate Christmas. Therefore, even though I don 't believe in the celebration of Christmas; I still go to Christmas parties and respect those who do. On another note, my parents and I are not the only Christians who choose not to celebrate Christmas, there are others. Along with Jehovah witness, some Muslims, Indians, and of course Jews whom celebrate Hanukkah.…

His behavior as a result was he dressed up and pretended to be Santa Claus. He took on this role in order to feel control and inferior.…

John Quinn says, “ Corneal says there’s so little magic in our everyday lives, and soon enough our little ones will be all grown-up, paying their bills, gassing up their cars, and going to work every day. So for now, Santa is a very real and special part of the holidays in her home.” (para. 9) Children should be able to have a fun childhood before the real world steps in.…
