Christmas day origin

• The word "Christmas" is a combination of the
  words "Christ" and "Mass". For today"s Christian,
  the origin of Christmas is, and should be, the
  birth of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible.
  Nothing more and nothing less. However, most of
  what we witness on December 25th each year has
  absolutely nothing to do with that blessed day,
  which probably occurred in late summer or early
  fall about 2,000 years ago. In fact, most of the
  customs and traditions of Christmas actually
  pre-date the birth of Jesus, and many of them are
  downright deceptive in their meaning and origin.
  Anyway, who cares when Christ was born?

• This is the favorite day for all children.They
  wake up very early in the morning to find their
  stockings have been filled by Father Christmas
  and excitedly unwrap the presents before going
  down to breakfast.
• Family presents are opened either late morning or
  during the afternoon. The family gather together
  to open the presents found under the Christmas
  tree.
• The tradition of giving gifts is thought to be
  related to the gifts that the wise men (the Magi)
  brought to Jesus.
