| Christmas is a Christian holiday held on December 25th which celebrates the birth of Jesus. The word Christmas is derived from the middle English – Christemasse and from old English – cristes maesse. It is a contraction meaning Christ’s mass. The holiday is characterized by the exchange of Christmas gifts among friends and family members, some of the unique gifts being attributed to Santa Clause, also know as Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas. This jovial fellow arrives on Christmas Eve on a sleigh pulled by a reindeer, and lands on the roofs of houses. He then climbs down the chimney and leaves gifts for the children in their Christmas stocking , and eats the food they leave for him. He spends the rest of the year making toys and keeping lists on the behaviour of the children. |

| Christmas trees may be decorated with lights and ornaments. The interior of a home may be decorated with garlands and evergreen foliage, particularly holly and mistletoe. In many countries, business, schools, and communities have Christmas parties and dances in the weeks before Christmas. Christmas pageants may include a retelling of the birth of Christ. Groups may visit neighbourhood homes to sing Christmas carols.
On Christmas Day or Christmas Eve, a special meal of Christmas dishes is usually served. Christmas gifts are also collected by voluntary workers at shopping centres etc to give to the needy. They collect unique gifts in Christmas stockings placed just after the checkouts of supermarkets.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our customers a very happy Christmas 2006, and a healthy and prosperous new year. |
