The All- Around Christmas Book

This book is the first book I read about Christmas and I like it a lot. This book tells you about How Christmas began, The Christmas Calendar, What is greens and Plants, Carols, Cards, most of all it tells you every thing about Christmas. I will like to tell you to get out there and read this book because it tells you how Christ born and die. So all you people who likes to read here is part of the book hope you like it.**HOW CHRISTMAS BEGAN**Christmas, the Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Christ, takes place on December 25. It is an exciting, happy day when family and friends gather together to exchange gifts and share a festive meal. At the beginning of December, people start wrapping presents, hanging wreaths and mistletoe, decorating evergreen trees with ornaments, and sending pretty cards to old friends.** THE CHRISTMAS CALENDAR**After December 25 was picked as the Christmas holiday, the month before was set aside as a season of fasting and prayer. It was called Advent, which comes from the Latin word meaning "to come." People used this time to prepare for Christ's coming into the world. Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and ends on Christmas Day. It is still observed by many Christians.Hope this helps you understand this the meaning of the book.
