1. So let’s talk more about Christmas and what it means to different people. For some people it’s a religious occasion.
2. Some people believe this is when Jesus Christ was born – so it’s a sort of birthday celebration. People might go to a church service and sing carols – those are the traditional Christmas songs.
3. Other people like to just let their hair down – or have a good time – because it is the middle of the cold, dark winter– although not everywhere.
