Why do we celebrate Christmas?
Christmas is celebrated in various ways by people of many faiths. Believers hold up that christmas should be celebrated to make attribute to Jesus's birth who died for our sins.
Meanwhile, another percent of people celebrate that day because it simbolizes time to spend in peace with people we appreciate.
Do you celebrate Christmas? How do you celebrate it?
Without doubt, my family celebrates Christmas every year. That day, we meet at somebody's home early to prepare the supper, so everyone has a task to do. After that, we plan some games by teams and at the end of the day after the meal and Christmas carols the team that wins more games will be rewarded with gifts.

Do you celebrate Christmas?
Yes, my family and me always celebrate this emotional holiday.
How do you celebrate it?
It has been a custom in my family to receive christmas with the best vibes. First of all, this begins when we -together- set up the christmas tree and decorate it along with the doors and windows with wreaths and lights.
In Christmas Eve, we sing carols and everyone wants to prepare the most delicious meal, which includes turkey, a diferent kind of rice every year, a special wine and a special sauce.

Why do people celebrate?
I think that people celebrate Christmas because it is a tradition. I mean it is something that the parents or the family have inculcated us. Also, I think it is time to meet to your family and share memories, experiences or just a time together.
Do you celebrate Christmas?
Personally, I don't celebrate it because I think it is something that many companies use to sell things and usually with over prices. I think Christmas can be a holiday to meet with your family, but I don't agree with the companies take advantage of this holiday to earn money, I meet with my family, but we are not believers of Jesus or things like that, we just meet to share food and not only to give gifts.

I also found this interesting article about Christmas in Ecuador I wanted to share with you!!! I recommend to read it!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Christmas, or Navidad, in Ecuador is probably most celebrated holiday throughout the year. As a very religious country, Ecuador is also very family-oriented, but during Christmas family traditions are doubled, tripled, and quadrupled. Christmas is indeed family time, but there are, however, other incredibly sweet and heartwarming Christmas customs and traditions in Ecuador.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve in Ecuador is basically a big family reunion. Everyone comes to the house of the head of the family with their spouses, children, and sometimes even their parents-in-law. The host has to provide food and, of course, Christmas tree. The guests bring presents and secretly, so that children don't see it, hide them in the closet or similar room. Until the time comes to put gifts under the Christmas tree, people enjoy food, conversation, music, and each other's company. When the time comes, the tradition is to leave the house with the children in search for the star of Bethlehem, the one that revealed the birth of Jesus. Meanwhile, a group of adults that has stayed indoors arranges the presents under the Christmas tree, and when the others return after some time, everybody enjoys picturesque faces of happy children screaming from joy and surprise.

Handing out gifts is a real ceremony: the oldest member of the family takes presents one by one, reads the name of the lucky recipient out loud, and officially hands the gift in. Traditionally, people immediately unwrap the gifts to thank the person right away - with such a huge family, what if you forget to thank somebody later?

Christmas Eve food

As festive as Christmas celebration is in Ecuador, the food is... well, what's wrong with the food at Christmas in Ecuador?! For a country that celebrates food throughout the year and boasts with the most amazing cuisine, Christmas table is mostly different variations of rice: rice with cheese, rice with corn, rice with stew, spicy rice, sweet rice, and even sweet and spicy rice ( Arroz Navideño, or Christmas rice). There is, of course, some chicken, turkey, and salad, but rice is still the biggest part of Christmas dinner in Ecuador.

The abundance of sweets, however, is impressive! There's a marvelous spread of candies, cakes, biscuits, and cupcakes in any way, shape, and form.

Christmas decorations

Apart from giving gifts and spending time with the family, Christmas also means decorating the house. Many families embellish their houses with Christmas mugs, dolls, and cards, hang Christmas socks on the walls, put decor on the front door, and even install Christmas light statues in the garden, like the ones of Santa or Rudolph. In more religious families, it is common to find Nativity scene with little figures representing biblical characters. Nativity scenes are scaled up and installed in the malls, gated communities, and downtown in the city.

Singing Christmas carols

Singing carols is an integral part of Christmas in Ecuador. Sometimes families sing together sitting at the Nativity scene, sometimes they go to church, and sometimes they just sing in the mall. Ecuadorians are very musical people, they sing everywhere they can even and often for no explicit reason - if they are in a good mood, that already a good cause. And with Christmas coming, happiness and joy is literally in the air, so don't be surprised if you are walking in the street and hear some random passer-by singing Christmas carols.

Christmas time in Ecuador happens to be during the warmest season of the year. And with Christmas beautiful traditions and darling customs it gets even warmer but, of course, it's a completely different type of warmth.

How do you celebrate Christmas in your country?

I really love this picture because for me the true meaning of Christmas is this; spending time with the people you love. Also Christmas helps us to remember that in this season we share the traditions and convey the importance of giving and receiving love, being supportive, feeding the spirit and enjoying the little things that the life give us, it's the best gift we can offer.

Song: We Three KingsWe three kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moon and mountain
Following younder star

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night -Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding - Guide us to thy perfect light

Born a king on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring, to crown him again
King for ever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh:
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom,
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

Glorious now, behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice
Heaven sings alleluia, Alleluia the earth replies.
