Why do we celebrate Christmas?

Christmas means to celebrate Jesus' birthday and to spend time with family. My favorite part is when we spend time with family at night.

Because Santa comes to give us presents. I like it when it's snowing!

We celebrate Christmas because it's a great holiday where you give things to parents and friends. You get presents and toys that you've never had before, and you get love. I like opening the presents, and the food.

Because my mom told me it's because our King was born. My favorite part of Christmas is actually waking up and getting so excited because there's toys everywhere.

We celebrate Christmas because it's celebrating Jesus' birth. My favorite part, I would say, is giving presents.

This is my guess – because you give and because you like each other. My favorite part is opening presents and the stockings, too.
