First of all, Christmas is a celebration of the soul, a feast that everyone has to wait for not to eat all sorts of goodies, but to feel better from the point of view of the soul. Winter holidays are a special time, being a wonderful opportunity to spend a few moments with your loved ones, surrounding the beautiful Christmas tree. Christmas is a family holiday : with all, grandparents, parents, grandchildren, gather together to feel the spirit of celebration.

Christmas Day
The traditional date for the appearance of Santa Claus, obviously from the birthdate of Jesus (the word Christmas is from old English, meaning Christ's mass). This date is near the shortest day of the year, from old times an important agricultural and solar feasting period in Europe. The actual birthday of Jesus is not known and thus the early Church Fathers in the 4th century fixed the day as was most convenient. The best fit seemed to be around the old Roman Saturnalia festival (17 - 21 December), a traditional pagan agricultural stivity with tumultuous and unruly celebrations.
