Christmas
Christmas is the time when Christians around the world
celebrate the birth of Jesus.
'Jesus is the Reason for the Season', it is HIStory!
There are 17 days until Christmas!
Every year in December we celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. That is why we call this time of year 'Christmas' - we celebrate the 'Mass', or church service, for Christ.
The word Christmas (or Christ's Mass) comes from the Old English name Cristes Maesse - Christ's Mass - and is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. The first recorded observance occurred in Rome in AD360, but it wasn't until AD440 that the Christian Church fixed a celebration date of December 25.
Christmas is a truly magical season, bringing families and friends together to share the much loved customs and traditions which have been around for centuries. Most people are on holiday in England and stay at home with their family on Christmas day. copyright of projectbritain.com

Christmas in England
Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of December in England, with a Christmas dinner for the whole family.
During the weeks before Christmas Day, we send cards, watch nativity plays and go to carol services. We also decorate our homes and churches with green leaves, paper decorations and colourful electric lights. copyright of projectbritain.com
Many of our Christmas customs began long before Jesus was born. They came from earlier festivals which had nothing to do with the Christian church. Long time ago people had mid-winter festivals when the days were shortest and the sunlight weakest. They believed that their ceremonies would give the sun back its power. The Romans, for example, held the festival of Saturnalia around 25 December. They decorated their homes with evergreens to remind them of Saturn, their harvest god, to return the following spring. copyright of projectbritain.com
Some of these customs and traditions were adopted by early Christians as part of their celebrations of Jesus' birthday.
In Victorian times some new ideas such as Father Christmas, Christmas cards and crackers were added to the celebrations. copyright of projectbritain.com

Slowo Christmas (albo Christ's Mass) pochodzi z jezyka staroangielskiego od slowa Cristes Maesse - Msza na czesc Chrystusa - i oznacza swietowanie narodzin Jezusa. Pierwsze obchodzenie ich zanotowano w Rzymie, w 360 roku panskim (AD to skrot od Anno Domine), ale dopiero w 440 roku kosciol chrzescijanski ustalil date swiat na 25 grudnia.

Wiele z naszych obrzedow swiatecznych pochodzi sprzed narodzin Chrystusa. Pochadza z wczesniejszych festiwali, ktore nie maja rzadnego zwiazku z kosciolem katolickim. Dawno temu ludzie obchodzili w srodku zimy uroczystosci, kiedy dni byly najkrotsze i swiatlo sloneczne najslabsze. Wierzyli oni, ze ich ceremonie pomagaja sloncu odzyskac moc.

Rzymianie, na przyklad, obchodzili swieta nazywane Saturnalia w okolicach 25 grudnia. Dekorowali swe domy zielenia, aby przypominac o sobie Saturnowi, ich bogowi plonow, by wrocil na wiosne.
