First of all, the moral of the Christmas party
The religious color of Christmas in western countries has faded, and Christmas has become a part of people's living customs, expressing their yearning and wishes for a better life in the future.
In Christian and non-Christian customs, fire and lights symbolizing warmth and longevity have always been an important part of winter festival celebrations. Evergreen trees symbolize the struggle for survival and have been associated with the celebration of Jesus Christmas since the Middle Ages.
Second, the origin of the Christmas party
It is said that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. When Maria was about to give birth to a baby, the Roman government issued an order that everyone must declare their household registration when going to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark, but they couldn't find a hotel for the night and had to live in a stable. At this time, Jesus was born.
So Mary had to give birth to Jesus in the manger. In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, later generations designated1February 25th as Christmas, and held mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
The contents of the Christmas party
On the evening of February 24th and 25th, many churches hold Christmas parties. At this time, secular non-religious entertainment can enter the church to participate in the celebration activities, so as to achieve the effect of both believers and non-believers, which is also the most relaxed moment for Catholic celebrations.
The party is mostly related to the religious content of the birth of Jesus, and there are also many entertainment programs such as singing and dancing, cross talk, sketches and Allegro. The Christmas party has its own unique layout and content, but the Christmas tree is an indispensable sacred object of the Christmas party, usually evergreen trees such as pine trees, cypress trees and machine trees, and the branches are covered with dazzling decorations, small gifts and small colored lights.
The appearance of Santa Claus is the climax of the Christmas party. Santa Claus usually wears white hair, red coat and leather pants, carries a big pocket and comes to the crowd with a bright smile to congratulate everyone on "Merry Christmas" and distribute Christmas presents. Generally, parents prepare according to their children's wishes, or relatives and friends exchange gifts.
