BOXING DAY
The day after Christmas (or the first weekday, if December 26 falls on the weekend) is a legal holiday known as Boxing Day in the United Kingdom, Canada, and several other countries. It is possible that Boxing Day received its name because churches often open the boxes of money, food, and other items donated by parishioners during the Christmas season.

THE BIRTH OF JESUS
Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus. The English term Christmas (“mass on Christ’s day”) is of fairly recent origin. The earlier term Yule may have derived from the Germanic jōl or the Anglo-Saxon geōl, which referred to the feast of the winter solstice. The corresponding terms in other languages—Navidad in Spanish, Natale in Italian, Noël in French—all probably denote nativity.

TREES AND DECORATIONS
Ancient, pre-Christian winter festivals used greenery, lights, and fires to symbolize life and warmth in the midst of winter's cold and darkness. These usages, like gift giving, have persisted. The most well-know symbol of a modern Christmas is the evergreen tree, decorated with strings of lights and shiny ornaments.

CHRISTMAS MUSIC
The range of Christmas music, both sacred and secular, is large—from the majestic oratorio Messiah by George Frideric Handel to the lighthearted song "Here Comes Santa Claus." One of the most popular of nonreligious tunes is probably Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," written for the movie Holiday Inn, released in 1942. The most traditional Christmas songs are carols.
