It's my Favorite Posting, The day where we can share joy, happy, gift, and everything that makes People happy....."It's Not Happy Holiday or Happy Day. it's Chrismas Holiday and Christmas Day". Here's is Wikipedia says about Christmas for people who don't know anything about Christmas. Check This Out ::

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday by billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.

The precise day of Jesus’ birth, which historians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown. In the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church first placed Christmas on December 25, a date later adopted also in the East. Theories advanced to explain that choice include that it falls exactly nine months after the Christian celebration of the conception of Jesus,or that it was selected to coincide with either the date of the Roman winter solstice or of some ancient winter festival.

Etymology

The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Christemasse and Old English Cristes mæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038. "Cristes" is from Greek Χριστός Christos and "mæsse" is from Latin missa (the holy mass). The form Christenmas was also historically used, but is now considered archaic and dialectal. Xmas is an abbreviation of Christmas sometimes found, particularly in print, though numerous style guides discourage its use.
