What is Christmas? Have you ever wondered why so many people around the world celebrate the day on December 25th, even if they’re not Christian? 

Christmas has been such a huge part of Western culture for centuries and the celebration has evolved throughout that time. It is important to remember, and reflect upon, the true meaning of what is Christmas; Jesus Christ was born to help free us from sin and unite humanity with God.
