Christmas festival is so grand that it is celebrated with great festive fervor all across the globe by people of
Christian origin and also by people belonging to different communities. Christmas festival commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. People
celebrate this festival of Christmas by throwing parties, exchanging gifts, singing carols, organizing family gatherings, decorating houses
and a lot more.
When many Protestants escaped persecution from the Catholic Church by fleeing to the colonies all over the world, interest in joyous Christmas
celebrations was rekindled. Still, Christmas was not even a legal holiday until last century. And, keep in mind, there was no Father Christmas
(Santa Claus) figure at that time.
