History of Christmas. Content Warning.

Christmas, which falls on December 25, is a global cultural and commercial phenomenon in addition to a revered religious holiday. People have been celebrating it with customs and rituals that are both religious and secular for the past two millennia. Christmas Day is a celebration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a religious figure whose teachings serve as the cornerstone of Christianity. Gift-giving, tree-decorating, church attendance, meal-sharing with loved ones, and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive are all common practices. Since 1870, December 25, sometimes known as Christmas Day, has been a federal holiday in the United States.
