Christmas Origins🎄⛪
Hello Mito Amity students and family! (^-)≡☆
Welcome to December! This week, we are discussing the most popular holiday of the month – Christmas! While there are many different reasons why various countries and cultures celebrate a version of Christmas, this iconic winter holiday`s origins lie in the religion of Christianity. Christmas is a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus – a historical figure integral to the Christian faith.
However, since the early 20th century, Christmas has also become a secular family holiday, observed by Christians and non-Christians alike. For example, many people in Japan celebrate Christmas as a couple’s holiday, spending the day with their special partner eating fried chicken and cake!
How will you celebrate Christmas this year? Let us know in your next Amity lesson!
Sincerely,
Your English Teachers at Mito Amity ┬┴┬┴┤･ω･)ﾉ
