Christmas, in the Christian church, annual festival, held on December 25, to celebrate the Nativity, on birth of Christ. The origin of the festival is unknown. Scholars believe that it is derived in part from rites held by pre-Christian Germanic and Celtic peoples to celebrate the winter solstice. Christians since the 4th century, incorporate pagan customs, such as the use of holly, mistletoe, Yule logs and wassail bowls. The Christmas tree, an evergreen trimmed with lights and other decorations, is derived from the so-called paradise tree, symbolizing Eden, of German mystery plays.

VI. Advent

The term advent comes from the Latin word adventus, which means “a coming”. The Advent season includes the first 4 Sundays before Christmas and reminds Christians of the coming Jesus. Many Christians, particularly those in Germany and other European countries, observe Advent with fasting and player. The first Sunday of the season is known as Advent Sunday.
The wreaths and calendars used to celebrate this religious holiday are, in fact, German customs. For each of the 4 Sundays, a red candle is added to an Advent wreath made of fir, holly or laurel.

Some Advent calendars consist of big star and 24 little stars, designed to be removed daily until only the large star remains on Christmas Eve. There are also Advent calendar candles, numbered on one side, which are burned down one number each day from December, the first until Christmas. They are usually lit during a family meal.

Advent calendars typically show a Christmas scene incorporating little doors or windows that are opened, one at a time, on each of the 25 days preceding December 25.

VIII. What does such an expression as “Buh, Humbug!” mean?

Early in Charles Dickens’ story “A Christmas Carol” Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by his nephew, red, who bids him a Merry Christmas. “Bah!” said Scrooge, “Humbug!” And the rest is history. Because ever since Dickens published his classic in 1843, Scrooge’s ill-willed oath has been the most oft-repeated line from the story, even appearing on commercial T-shirts and coffee mugs. Usually, though, “Bah, humbug!” is used in jest, since Scrooges’s transformation from crabby old miser to sentimental do-gooder is widely appreciated by audiences around the world.

In Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol”, Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by 3 ghosts. The mission of the third ghost is to show Scrooge scenes from dismal future.

IX. What are the traditional colours of Christmas?

Red and green are the traditional colors of Christmas. The holly plant, with its green leaves and red berries, is thought to be the inspiration, but otherwise, there does not seem to be any historical or legendary reason for the association of red and green with Christmas. Dark blue, white, silver and gold have inexplicably become recognized as secondary color choices for the season.

X. What can you add about cards?

Each year people exchange more than 2 billion Christmas cards with friends, family members and businedd acquaintances. Yet this annual tradition of conveying good cheer via a printed greeting and connecting with acquaintance old, new, distant or nearby is a relatively young one. Since the latter half of the 1800ts the number of greeting-card companies producing Christmas cards has expanded from a single firm to about 850 publishers.

XI. People like to sing carols. What are they?

The world carol comes from a French round dance called a carol. It was also the name of an English pagan song-dance performed to celebrate the winter solstice.
