Though one of the most celebrated holidays the world over, Christmas is also one of the most controversial. From the disputes concerning its origins to the contentions over the exact dates of Jesus’ birth, much has been discussed about this Christian holiday. But, these discussions aside, there is no disputing that Christmas is certainly the most-celebrated holiday in the world. There is something about Christmas that almost naturally lightens the hearts and stirs the moods, even among those who would have nothing to do with the focus of Christmas – Jesus’ birth.
All over the world, the season is marked with celebrative decorations and joyous parties. This, perhaps, is because of the very positive message that Christmas brings – joy, peace, and goodwill to all. These were very significant pronouncements by the angels at the first Christmas.
