The Christmas SEASON and ALL that it entails are geared to the BIG DAY, the 25^th Day of December -- which is Christmas Day

The word Christmas is derived from Middle English 'Christemasse' and Old English 'Cristes maesse,' both of which means 'Christ's Mass.' The day is celebrated by Christians as the day that Jesus Christ was born, although the true date of Jesus' birth isn't really known. Given the religious significance of Christmas Day, it therefore follows that attending church is a big tradition on that day. It is seen as mandatory for devout Christians and for others who are concerned about retaining the sacred meaning of the day. Many people fear that the sacred aspects of Christmas are being lost and overshadowed amid the bustle of commercial activity now associated with the entire season.

Church services therefore take place early on Christmas Morning. Attending those services is the first official activity that many people do on Christmas Day. Unlike the Midnight Mass and other earlier church services on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day services do not usually include the dramatization of the birth of Jesus. They may be more subdued with a sermon that recounts the birth of Jesus and his purpose to save mankind. The congregation is then exalted to be as giving as Jesus and to help out those who are in need.

Consequently, many people will take some time on Christmas Day to volunteer for a charitable activity such as serving dinner to the poor and hungry at a church, charitable organization or other social services centre. Others will also work with charitable organizations to distribute toys to needy children at shelters, hospitals and other places.

As part of the religious aspect of Christmas Day, groups that sing Christmas Carols will also be out very early on Christmas Morning.

Although Christmas Dinner is the most significant meal of the day, a large breakfast will also be served in most households that will be shared by all family members. The OCCASION of all family members having a meal together is a disappearing tradition in many American households, and so Christmas is seen as a perfect time to return to that tradition. Christmas Day after all, is all about family, sharing and togetherness.

Throughout the day, greetings of 'Merry Christmas' will be exchanged by telephone calls with family, friends, acquaintances and loved ones who are perhaps located elsewhere in the Country or Overseas. It is a common occurrence for so many people to be trying to make International Calls to loved ones and friends on Christmas Day that telephone communication systems to some Countries are often overwhelmed. The availability of technology and the Internet eases that somewhat nowadays however, as emails and instant messaging can also be used like other communication channels to exchange greetings on Christmas Day.

Christmas Day Dinner is undoubtedly THE central event of the day. Family and friends gathered for dinner take pleasure in enjoying and sharing a delicious MEAL; and they are also mindful and thankful for the opportunity to be able to share a meal, to have each other and for the material things that make their lives comfortable and bring them happiness.

Some of those material things are then shared in absolute delight as everyone will gather around or near the Christmas TREE after dinner to exchange and open Christmas presents. It is an activity that is relished; and one which is usually filled with much laughter, happy chatter and merriment -- especially by children who are usually very delighted to get the toy that they had wished for.

After dinner and the exchange of presents, ADULTS may have light conversations, play games or even watch a movie. Children are often taken up with experimenting or playing with their new toys. It has also become a tradition on Christmas Day for members of some families, such as teenagers and young adults, to end Christmas Day by visiting the Movie Theatre on Christmas evening or Christmas night to see a recently released film.

A reputable Online Retailer like Amazon is the ideal first Port of Call when it comes to decorating for Christmas or buying presents for family and loved ones -- not to mention finding the all-important, in the Author’s view, bottles of good WINE and gourmet foods.
