Christmas is a joyful religious holiday when Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The Christmas story comes from the Bible. An angel appeared to shepherds and told them that a Savior had been born to Mary and Joseph in a stable in Bethlehem. Three Wise Men from the East followed a wondrous star which led them to the baby Jesus to whom they paid homage and presented gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrah.

To people all over the world, Christmas is a season of giving and receiving presents. In many European countries Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas comes into houses in the night and leaves gifts for the children. In USA they call him Santa Claus. 

Santa Claus exists only in our imaginations. But he, Saint Nicholas and Father Christmas are spirits of giving.
