Christmas is a national holiday celebrated by all right? Well, no. Christmas is a Christian holiday. The Christian religion is actually a group of religions. Now, all Christian religions believethat Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ. We should know when Christmas is celebrated right? Well here is a refresher, Christmas is celebrated every year on December 25. Most of the people reading this know the song 'Twelve Days of Christmas' so we know the gifts right and how it says it all. Well, if you take every single gift in the song and added them all up it would equal 364 gifts! When a holiday enters the country the congress needs to accept it. America never considered Christmas a national holiday until June 26, 1870!Christmas lights were invented by Edward Johnson in 1882. If you wonder how Santa goes so fast to visit everyone he would have to visit 822 houses per second! Now, I hoped you learned more about Christmas. Thank you!
