Christmas In June♥


Probably, everybody in the world likes Christmas because Christmas is the global festival. I would like to talk a few things about Christmas.
First of all, I would like to show the meaning of the word ‘Christmas.’ Christ means Jesus Christ, and the ‘mas’ came from the word Mass, the catholic worship service. So, it is the day to commemorate Christ.
How did the Christmas start?
It started from the winter solstice that ancient Rome observed.
In the ancient Rome, a bishop in Rome designated the winter solstice, a pagan holiday, as the birthday of Christ to symbolize that Christianity conquered pagan religions.
After that, this date was accepted by many churches, and whole world celebrate December 25 as Christmas. You cannot forget about Santa during the Christmas. Why is he wearing red coat?
The reason he wears red coat is because Coca Cola started using the red coated Santa Claus, which is the color of Coca Cola, to market their product during the winter time; their sales typically drops during the cold winter time.
That is how many people in the world celebrate Christmas on December 25소 through many parties and events. To summarize, Christmas started to commemorate Christ, and it became a day of big festival. That is why everybody in the world enjoys Christmas parties with Santa on December 25.
