the name christmas is short for christmass a mass is a kind of church service christmas is a religious festival it is the day we celebrate as the birthday of jesus there are special christmas services in christian churches all over the world but many of the festivities of christmas do not have anything to do with religion exchanging gifts and sending christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the christmas in the world
the birth of jesus had a story in nazareth a city of galilee the virgin's name was mary was betrothed to joseph before they came together she was found with child of the holy spirit joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly while he thought about these things gabriel an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take mary as wife and mary will bring forth a son and he shall call his name jesus for he will save his people from their sins
before jesus births joseph and mary came to quirnius was governing syria so all went to be registered everyone to his own city joseph also went up out of galilee out of the city of nazareth into judea to the city of david which is called bethlehem because he was of the house and of the lineage of david to be registered with mary his betrothed wife who was with child so it was that while they were there the days were completed for her to bedelivered and she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn and that christmas is the feast of the nativity of jesus is on 25th december every year but nobody know the actual birthday of jesus and the christmas has become popular when christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly santa claus was first made popular in nineteenth century

the midautumn festival has all interesting history long ago in one of the dynasties of china there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not manage the country well the people were so angry that some brave ones suggested killing the king so they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the cakes when they ate them they discovered the notes so they gathered together to make a sudden attack on the king from then on the chinese people celebrate on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat moon cakes in memory of that important event
when the midautumn festival is near shop windows are beautifully decorated many moon cakes are displayed for people to buy people send presents such aswine fruits and moon cakes to their friends and relatives in the evening of the day they have a feast after the feast they go out to the garden to look at the moon the children run and laugh on the streets
it is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night many poems have been written about it and poets are never tired of reading and writing such poems in chinese literature the moon of the mid autumn festival has been compared to a lookingglass a jade rabbit and so on it seems that chinese literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun
