When December month comes, once more Thailand becomes colorful.
The lights on Christmas trees, stadium decorations, models and merry Christmas
songs fascinates people in and around the country. For many Thai Christians here, spending time with family, going
to church, remembering Christ’s birth and His mission to save humanity from sin
are all important.
The Christmas day has been celebrated by billions of people around the world as Jesus Christ birthday
and most western countries observe it on 25th December. While the
exact date is debatable. Christmas is a very special holiday to many people,
both Christian and non-Christian. For countries that have
Christian
backgrounds, there
are a number of different ways
the holiday is
remembered,
including the length of the celebration.
For both Christian
and non-Christian, the holiday is celebrated with special foods, gift giving,
decorations, songs, caroling and giving to those in need. While many other
holiday elements exist such as Santa Claus, Christmas trees, ornaments, reindeer,
and decorative lights, the heart of Christmas is giving. One will often find
that those who participate in the holiday see it as a time of expressing love
through giving and this is closely linked to the greatest Gift that God made for
all humanity.
