Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for most people.

There are wonderful colored lights, nativity scenes, dressed Santa Clauses and beautiful music.

People lifting spirits with handshakes and the words Merry Christmas. Kids also counting the days and even the minutes.

People put all worries aside and, for a few days, everything is a good life. There is no hate in Christmas, only love for everyone.

This is also the birth of our Lord and the beginning of Christianity as He later was crucified, died and was buried.

On the third day Christ arose from the dead, which was our promise of life hereafter.

This is why Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. It brings so much to people.
