christmas-commercial date or a religious  practice

Christmas is the most important and recognized event in the whole world, even in no christians countries, coming to be celebrated in different ways, but the main way is to celebrate the birth of Jesus. When it arrives on December 25 is when the gifts are delivered, spending a large sum of money at the same time on the decorations. So all this is in doubt, will Christmas be something commercial or  a religious event?


Christmas,that season of multicolored lights, special dinners, presents, fun, is associated with a christian tradition that represents the anniversary of the birth  of  Jesus. This is how for many christians, the true meaning of christmas is one Jesus, who came into the world with only one purpose, to give his life and die for our sins. In latin America, christmas marks the end of a nine day period before christmas, called "novenas" wich represents the none months of labour for the virgin Mary before she gave birth to Jesus.The feast of the birth of Jesus is the quintessential family celebration, wich has the virtiue of renewing in hearts the desires of happiness and peace.  Commercially christmas is also a time called "high season", where the stores reach great sales of products and toys, among others.
Commercially, the stores take advantage of this event, to promote the latest technological developments, toys mos representative of films and television programs. Children write letters to santa asking for giftrs.


To conclude, it can be said that although our society has replaced the chritmas message with material and consumerism, we must take this event as an opportunity to be united as a family, and rejoice in Jesus, praise him and thank him for being in our lives.
