Christmas
is the most widely celebrated festival world over, and also the most
popular festival globally. We have tried to present you with not only the
history, but also enjoyable information on the different icons that
we associate with Christmas. In fact, these things have become so common with the celebration of X'mas,
when we see Santa riding on a reindeer sledge with the stockings
full of gifts and candies; or the familiar coniferous green trees
being decorated with tinsels and stars, and gingerbread and fruits; or
houses being decorated with holly twigs and mistletoes - we know Christmas
has come. For, these are what Christmas mean to us, at least symbolically.
Let us take a look at what they really mean and their association with
Christmas:
Who is this
 Santa? What is this
 Xmas
Tree?
Why the
Mistletoe, and the
 Holly?
Or a prickly Glastonbury Thorn?
Why poinsettia is a
Christmas flower?
What is so special about
 Reindeer?
And did the
 Xmas Star
really come bright on
the night?
And ofcourse ~
 The
History Of Christmas
Xmas time is also the time to commemorate
the birth of Christ Child with Nativity and caroling as it is also time
for gift-giving, mistletoe and Evergreens, the roses and poinsettia, the
cakes, cookies and candies. So take a peek at the following pages
