Depending on your beliefs it would be a standard assumption that Christmas time has a lot to do with the birth of Jesus Christ. For those who believe that he was not the son of God they still have their own belief about the history of Christmas. People all over the world are drawn to the traditions and history of Christmas time because it is a giving time and time to rejoice. Christmas is a translated word which means the mass of Christ even though over 2000 years ago this tradition was not celebrated at this time.
The history of Christmas for many people is the start of the tradition of Santa Claus bringing gifts to the good boys and girls of the world. Santa was a magical fellow who lived at the North Pole with his helper Elves who made toys for him to deliver. His magical reindeer would pull the laden sleigh around the world in one night while Santa would slide down even the most narrow of chimneys to deliver presents under the Christmas trees. He was said to enjoy a glass of milk and to often eat Christmas cookies left out for him.
The history of Christmas can be traced back to around 4000 years ago however back then the traditions were very different. People still celebrated and feasted like we do today and the 12 days of Christmas were used to spread joy. In the beginning of these celebrations those many years ago, people would praise their gods with gifts of food and riches. the history of Christmas is told today just a little differently in each country however the basic feeling is the same.
