Christmas, annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25, and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well. Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6, when they celebrate Epiphany, a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus. Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem (near Jerusalem, Israel), where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The official Christmas season, popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas, extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6.
Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew (see Matthew 1:18-2:12) and the Gospel according to Luke (see Luke 1:26-56). Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas, then known as the Feast of the Nativity, as early as 336 ad. The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse, meaning “festival of Christ.” Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century. The X stands for the Greek letter chi, an abbreviation of Khristos (Christ), and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified.赞同116| 评论

I am glad I was your teacher
Though you troubled me through and through
You split the chalk and broke the glass
And I made you kneel down too
But now that the year is almost gone
And the holidays are near
I am surprised most of all coz
I can't believe the end is here
Next term you will be older
Whether wiser- I am not sure
Some other class teacher will face it all
How well – I do not know.
I remember all the fun we had
I am sure you remember too
All the pranks and the spanks
But we managed to get through
I can't believe the end is here
You will all be sorely missed
And I hate to see you go
'Coz you'll are very special kids.
Children of an Unfair God
Mama, please don't hurt me anymore
I am only little, just about four
Don't wake me up from my deep sleep
Don't take me to work; why can't it keep?
Can't you send me to school?
Like the neighbourhood kids
Can't I learn to read and browse through books?
'No you can't', says the mother
Dragging her child away
You must go to work
To keep hunger at bay
Five children have we to keep and to feed
