christmas

Christmas is just another holiday it seems, stores sell special items on special deals, a wide number of people celebrate it, and we get school off. but you know getting presents is nice and being with family, plus similar to thanksgiving we usually have a big meal. now what i don't understand is how the traditions all started like the tree, stockings and gifts I know they all have a story why but usually when i hear them they make no sense how they connect at all with traditions happening now. sorry for the speratic thoughts and also are we going to have blogs over the holidays?
