on the 25th December every fall, Christmas is the festival that is
devoted to the birth of Jesus Christ. Marked as the most important religion in
the Christian religion and right from the first time it was celebrated to this
day, it has become more popular. Not only the people belonging to the Christian
caste but people of other castes are
showing their interest in this festival,
and today the celebration of Christmas
around the world has become a worldwide phenomenon.
As
Christmas is the religious festival that is celebrated in every country of the
world, the traditions that are followed will be obvious. However, in the hustle
bustle of the celebration in every country, a few of the traditions remain the
same.
Christmas
tree is the main essence of the entire celebration,
and you won’t find a single Christian home without the Christmas tree. People
bring pine or fir tree mostly and decorate it with different stuff. The
tradition of bringing and decorating the Christmas trees remains same, but people of different countries associate the
act with different purpose. For Instance, Romans people believe that the Mother
Adonis was transformed into the Fir tree whereas Egyptian people consider the
palm tree to be the God Bal Tamaar.
Another
tradition that is followed in most of the countries is baking cakes, and there would be hardly any home where
you won’t get the sweet aroma of cake baking. Gifting the families, relatives,
and friends are followed everywhere, but
it has a close association with the Santa
Claus living in the North Pole.
People
still believe that Santa lives somewhere in the North Pole and ride on his reindeer across the world dropping gifts to
everyone. People, mostly the kids would write their wish on a paper and will
cut them on the socks on the Christmas tree. The story of Santa Claus still
lives amongst the people, but the grown ones have already realized the myth,
but to keep the faith of the kids in the ancient tale alive, they become their
Santa.
