- Oh, well, it's this holiday we have where we cut down trees and sing songs to celebrate the birth of a baby 2000 years ago, and then the Romans killed him so we give each other gifts--
Christmas is a Holiday celebrated through the month of December culminating on December 25th, when is commemorated the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, known posthumously as Jesus Christ. It is a gift-giving celebration, centered around Peace on Earth and Good Will towards men. And everybody pretends to like the Fruitcake.
