Book review#7 Christmas around the world

outline
In this book, there are 4 contents. I will introduce about Christmas time. The night before Christmas, everyone is fast asleep, waiting for the magic to begin. Cards are written and sent. Presents are wrapped and waiting under the tree. Stockings hang empty from the mantelpiece, while children dream of a secret visitor and a sack, bursting with surprises…people have enjoying Christmas for over 2,000 years. Early Christians started it, to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a small town in the Middle East. His parents, Mary and Joseph, were visiting the town, but every inn was full. So, Jesus was born in a stable. At that time, a star shone brightly over head to show everyone where he was. Now, Christians go to church on Christmas Day to remember Jesus’s birth, but millions of others celebrate too.

Impression
In this book, there are many things that I don’t know. In Japan, Many people eat Christmas cakes, and give presents. The origin of Christmas is not that. We mistake the meaning of the day. However, it is difficult to change our custom. I think it is important to know real mean of Christmas day. And we will be able to enjoy Christmas.
