The Christmas Season
Aside from being a famous sacred religious holiday, Christmas is also a commercial and cultural phenomenon worldwide. Christmas is celebrated by Christians in honor of the anniversary of the birth of a spiritual leader Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas Centerpieces, lights, garlands, Christmas trees and colorful decorations adorn many houses and buildings usually starting from Thanksgiving.
Christmas Day, celebrated during the 25th day of December, became a federal holiday in the United States in the year 1870. Many children believe in the existence of a jolly old man called Santa Claus, who is believed to bring children gifts during Christmas Eve when they are already asleep. He does this by traveling around the world via his sleigh full of toys pulled by eight flying reindeers named Francer, Dancer, Vixen, Donder, Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, and Dasher and climbing into each house’s chimney to enter the house. The ninth reindeer known as Rudolf “the red-nosed reindeer” is the most popular even though he is not a member of the Santa’s original eight reindeers. His story as well as the song about him teaches the thought that liability can sometimes be turned into an asset.
Stores and malls sometimes hire employees to dress like Santa Claus to attract shoppers and children into their premises. Many people use Christmas as a chance of giving something to others without expecting something in return.
