It's time for Christmas

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday celebrated that commemorates the birth of Jesus of Nazareth also known as Jesus Christ who is the central figure of Christianity. Christian religion views Jesus Christ as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament which is the collection of books that form the first of the two-part Christian Biblical canon, and within which most denominations recognize him as the Son of God and as God incarnate.
Christmas Day is central to the Christmas holiday season and in Christianity marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days.
Christmas Day is celebrated as a major festival and public holiday in most countries of the world, even in many which are not majority Christian.
While most countries celebrate Christmas on December 25 each year, some national churches including those of Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Egypt and Serbia celebrate on January 7 because of their use of the traditional Julian Calendar, under which December 25 falls on January 7 as measured by the standard Gregorian Calendar.
For many centuries Christmas has been a time for the giving and exchanging of gifts, especially between friends and family members. A number of Christian and legendary figures have been associated with both Christmas and the giving of gifts. Among these are Father Christmas, also known as Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, the Christkind, Kris Kringle, Père Noël, Saint Basil and Father Frost.
The most famous and pervasive figure in modern celebration of Christmas is Santa Claus, a mythical gift bringer, dressed in red, whose origins have disputed sources. Santa Claus is a corruption of the Dutch "Sinterklaas", which means simply Saint Nicholas. Nicholas was Bishop of Myra (in modern day Turkey) in the fourth century. Among other saintly attributes, he was noted for the care of Children, generosity, and the giving of gifts.
