Christmas is one of the most popular holidays celebrated in America and other countries. It is known for being about presents and Santa Claus. But that's not the true meaning of Christmas. It's about the celebration of the lord Jesus Christ.

In the year 0 AD, the virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ on December 25th, 0 AD with Joseph. Jesus' real father is the Christian God who has been around since the beginning. The old testament of the bible started with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden but afterwards Satan the Devil tricked them into eating the fruit of knowledge God told them not to eat, so that's when sin and evil entered the world. From then on God was very angered with the sinful events going on that he knew the world needed a savior that would forgive people of their sins if they were willing to repent from them and follow him.

In the book/gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; the beginning of the new testament of the bible, Jesus was born. As he became an adult he had a group of followers called disciples whom he had 12 but 1 betrays him later on in the gospels. They shared the gospel so people would be healed from demonic possessions and that they would not sin freely anymore. But in 33 AD, Jesus was crucified on the cross so people would enter heaven and not spend eternal suffering in hell for their unrepented sins.

After the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the lord and savior, Christmas was known for being about the birth of him. He is the only one who still ages after death because he is still alive since he is the son of God. That will make him 2016 this year.
