for kids the meaning of Christmas is toys, foods, money, new dress, going to Godfather and Godmother.Seeing Santa Claus. Going to visit grandparents. Long Holiday. To old people like us, it is the time for giving and sharing. The time that we giving is more important than receiving. The time to be with our family. Family reunion. Time for happiness, time to spend with people we love. Christmas party. Christmas bonus and 13th month pay.Decorations.Shopping. Time to be busy for preparation and accepting guest. Personally for me the meaning of Christmas is long vacation. Time for myself, time to reflect. time to give my family they wants. Time to be with friends. do you wonder what is missing? If you are very religious person you will say that Christmas is for Jesus Christ. Do Jesus Christ really was born on December 25? Moreover, the deeper meaning of Christmas for me is giving without expecting. Understanding, sharing, being open minded, relaxation, selfless, loving and being faithful to the Lord. I want my Christmas to be meaningful this year even I don't have enough money. For me money is not important although there are gift givings, for me as long as my family is complete and happy by our blessing, Christmas would still be more meaningful. What is the meaning of Christmas to you?

the real meaning of x-mas is love and peace.this in my city are now on martial law so we wish that we have meet peaceful x-mas in this incoming x-mas.since peace is a priceless commodity right now.but the meaning of x-mas is new beginning for me.one must be contented to what they have right now.those unfortunate people are the focus by helping them,giving gifts that they can use in everyday.it is also the celebration of christ born the one almighty was born and this is time time of forgiveness and sharing goods.love and peace to one another that is the real meaning of x-mas.

The meaning of Christmas for me is knowing there are many people reunion with their families in this world,such like Chinese New Year for us.First, we have holidays,so we have enough time to company our parents who don't live with us.Then, we should buy some gifts for eldership and children,have family dinner together,watching Spring Festival Gala Evening, and join other activites.It is the best time of the whole year.

The meaning of Christmas for me is spending time with your loved ones. Christmas time is family time, and a time for togetherness. It's not about getting presents and materialism. It's about giving, and loving. It's the time to for love and those fuzzy feelings you get inside. It's the time to be heart warmed.

It is more on the giving than on the receiving aspects. Christmas is more special if the family is complete and share the same companionship every year. Although, it is not possible in other family. Somehow, it is the thoughts that counts. Christmas is the time to share good times with family, giving love and care, reconciliation and a time to thanks God for the gift of love and other blessings receive for the entire years and hoping the next year around would still be plentiful and full of hope, joy and happiness.

Hello grecychunny26!
I connect christmas with love like the others,relationships fixes and fun between peoaple..Than everyone has a happy soul and at this moments very much kids are saved,because people donate for kids..And just everyone is happy by one or other way..And people are more happy because they recieve presents and the people show how much they respect they family and their friends..But its more cool that the kids really believe in Santa Claus and that makes them very happy..They always wait and in this time they keep relations and speeking with people..So at christmas everyone shows love,respect and everyone is happy. Happy day :)

There's only one BEST thing to describe the meaning of Christmas --- it is LOVE. We give gifts, cards, alms all because of love. Which, of course, made possible by Jesus Christ the King.
Happy Birthday to Jesus Christ. and Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones in advance. :)
