- Some say that it is to celebrate Christ’s birth as well as it is to share the love with those around us who are less privileged
- Some see Christmas as a holiday and a time to spend with family members.
- For others, it is a time to thank God.
- For some, it is a break that affords them time off work and school to open gifts and spend time with their family.
- It means to some people, time to help those who do not have enough to enjoy the festivity of the season.
- For some, it is time to show others how well you appreciate them and share this life all around.
- Some see the season as a time to bring joy and happiness to the face of other people.
