Christmas time

  Christmas is the time of the year that we celebrate Jesus the Christ's Birth. Christ is a title not his surname. Surname didn't come into come use until 1700's in the UK(United Kingom), there where names based on occupations and other names that evolved to be Surnames.Surnames are usually known as Last Names in the United States of America, for example my Surname or Last Name is Hudson. Christ means the Messiah: according to the Bible, a savior who will come to deliver God's chosen people; according to Bing dictionary.
  Also some other things Christmas is known for is bells. Bells are used on sleighs like Santa's Sleigh, and they are the way to bring your attention to something or an event, like bells at a church. So they are used to herald in Jesus' birth. Christmas is also know for snow, snow usually occurs in lots of the country when Christ's birth is celebrated in December. I don't like the celebration of winter for Christmas, and not realizing the reason for the season of Christ's Birth.Except for the crazy snow we got in Saint George,Utah this year Christmas usually doesn't have snow, and I don't think we will have snow around December 25 of this year. Snow or no snow Christmas is all the same and special, I don't think snow is necessary for the spirit of Christmas.
   The thing people remember most about Christmas is gifts. We celebrate giving like how the 3 wise men gave Jesus Frankincense, Mir, and Incense. I think we need to not commercialize Christmas as much, not focusing on gifts we want, but gifts we give others. When you give others a gift, give them a good gift that will help them in their life with their dreams and aspirations; also don't spend more money than you can afford in giving or in requesting gifts.
  Have a Merry Christmas!
