What is Christ mas about?

Answer 1

Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, and also to celebrate Saint Nicholas. In the time of Jesus, he would drop money down the chimneys of people in poverty. Today, children hope wonderful gifts will drop down their chimneys. As less and less houses have chimneys, the tradition of presents by the chimney, in stockings has switched to presents under the tree.

Answer 2

Christians will tell you that Christmas is all about celebrating the birth of Jesus over 2000 years ago. However, prior to the emergence of Christianity there were pagan celebrations about the same time, the most notable was winter solstice on December 21/22. Many Theologians dispute the story that Jesus was born in December. There is also evidence to suggest that the Winter Solstice celebrations were "converted" into a christian celebration at around the time the Romans took on Christianity as their main religion
