I was asked to explain what Christmas is. Well Christmas is December 25 and that is the day Jesus was born and that is why we celebrate it. It is also the time of year where joy is spreaded and happiness. Before Christmas every family put up a Christmas tree and you hang ornaments and lights on the tree to make it look pretty. On Christmas eve you may go to a relatives house and spend it with them but on Christmas eve a good man named Santa clause leaves presents under your Christmas tree at night when you are sleeping and when you wake up Christmas morning you and your family get to open up the presents Santa clause brought you. Also maybe on Christmas you go and visit other family members.
