Christmas Day, December 25, is an annual holiday that marks the birth of Jesus. Christmas combines the celebration of Jesus' birth with various other non-related traditions and customs, many of which were influenced by ancient winter festivals.
Christmas traditions include the display of Nativity scenes and Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve night. Popular Christmas themes include the promotion of goodwill, giving, compassion, and quality family time.
For children, Santa Claus will come to the children's houses and brings gifts or goodies to good kids, but the bad kids will only get coal. And if you believe in Santa, you will hear his bells. Many times, children may find the bells in the snow or on the ground.
The Christmas holiday has become the biggest day for giving gifts in the United States.
The 12 Days of Christmas: A Pop-Up Celebration by Robert Sabuda (1996) is among his popular pop-up books. His wonderful creation is most favorable to share with you on this Christmas holiday season.
