Christmas is coming! :3

Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated  on December 25 by billions of people around the world. The most important pagan figure of Christmas is Santa Claus. He is associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season. Christmas Day is celebrated as a major festival and public holiday in countries around the world, including many whose populations are mostly non-Christian. A small number of Christians have adopted many of the secular aspects of Christmas, like decorations, Christmas trees and lights. The traditional colors of Christmas decorations are red, green, and gold. I LOVE CHRISTMAS, BUT TODAY ISN'T LIKE LAST YEARS. 










-Last Christmas.
-All I want for Christmas is You. :P
