Based from the Bible, God created the world in seven days. He created us, the human beings with the hope that we will take good care of what he had granted us.
But then, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was not created but was born. Blessed Mary ever virgin is the mother of Jesus and His father is Joseph. Before Joseph and Mary lived together, Joseph had a family and had children, he got jailed and bailed. He was married to Mary because God knew that Mary will be safer with an experienced and full grown man rather than being with a man at her age.
It is believed to be that Jesus Christ was born on the 25th of December, but we don't actually know the exact year, or December 25 is not even the time Jesus was born. But we know that the Savior has come to defeat the evil. He even performed lots of unbelievable things, the impossible made possible, called miracle.He changed one's faith and life. That's why we celebrate his birth I guess.
Christmas, we use to celebrate it by having meals in midnight of December 24 called as the "Noche Buena." In Noche Buena, we use to eat with the whole family. We even put up alittle program, with lots of different fun games. After those, we set out to carol on houses ,streets by streets, and after that, we will go back to our house and divide whatever we had. In Christmas time, this is never missing, opening of presents! :) This is something that our family have given to each other.
With the quite cold weather in the morning, the whole family goes to mass and will prepare a little and simple lunch. But the real essence of Christmas, is not the money or material things that you have. They say that, Christmas time is forgiving time. Christmas is being with the one that you love, sharing whatever thingd you have, the time where you will find the real meaning of happiness.
