The word for Christmas in late Old English is Cristes Maesse, the Mass of Christ, first found in 1038, and Cristes-messe, in 1131. In Dutch it is Kerst-misse, in Latin Dies Natalis, whence comes the French Noël, and Italian Il natale; in German Weihnachtsfest, from the preceeding sacred vigil. The term Yule is of disputed origin. It is unconnected with any word meaning "wheel". The name in Anglo-Saxon was geol, feast: geola, the name of a month (cf. Icelandic iol a feast in December).

news.firstdata.com Since the late 1800s the economic importance of Christmas has led to concerns over what is seen as the increasing commercialization of Christmas. The 1823 poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas had popularized the tradition of exchanging gifts and seasonal Christmas shopping began to assume economic importance.[45] In her 1850 book "The First Christmas in New England", Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a character who complained that the true meaning of Christmas was being lost in a shopping spree.[46] Source:
en.wikipedia.org With the Christmas season spurring competition in some neighborhoods for the best Christmas light display, homeowners now have the option of hiring professional light installers. The installers are usually gardeners and home service providers trying to take advantage of an otherwise slow winter sales season. Although some of their business is sold to commercial companies, about 85 percent of business comes from homeowners who pay an average of $500 for the service. For many of these professional light installers, business in the last couple years has been strong, although some have started to focus on homeowner associations rather than individual homeowners who are sometimes fickle about the project.

humor.about.com In the Early Middle Ages, Christmas Day was overshadowed by Epiphany, which in the west focused on the visit of the magi. But the Medieval calendar was dominated by Christmas-related holidays. The forty days before Christmas became the "forty days of St. Martin" (which began on November 11, the feast of St. Martin of Tours), now known as Advent.[26] In Italy, former Saturnalian traditions were attached to Advent.[26] Around the 12th century, these traditions transferred again to the Twelve Days of Christmas (December 26 - January 6).[26]. The evening of January 5 was called Twelfth Night, a festival later celebrated in the play of that name by William Shakespeare. The fortieth day after Christmas was Candlemas. Source:

jewsonfirst.org In November 2004, Aiken launched his third tour of the year, which revolved around a Christmas theme. "The Joyful Noise Tour", sponsored by Ronald McDonald House Charities, featured a conductor and a 30-piece orchestra.

en.wikipedia.org There are many Christmas markets throughout France, such as the ones in Colmar, Strasbourg, Brissac-Quince, Nancy and Montlouis-sur-Loire.

gofrance.about.com CHICAGO (AP) - A public Christmas festival is no place for the Christmas story, the city says. Officials have asked organizers of a downtown Christmas festival, the German Christkindlmarket, to reconsider using a movie studio as a sponsor because it is worried ads for its film "The Nativity Story" might offend non-Christians.

jewsonfirst.org Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts; Origen, glancing perhaps at the discreditable imperial Natalitia, asserts (in Lev. Hom. viii in Migne, P.G., XII, 495) that in the Scriptures sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthday; Arnobius (VII, 32 in P.L., V, 1264) can still ridicule the "birthdays" of the gods.

newadvent.org Most economists agree... that Christmas produces a deadweight loss under orthodox microeconomic theory, due to the surge in gift-giving. This loss is calculated as the difference between what the gift giver spent on the item and what the gift receiver would have paid for the item. It is estimated that in 2001 Christmas resulted in a $4 billion deadweight loss in the U.S. alone.[42][43] Because of complicating factors, this analysis is sometimes used to discuss possible flaws in current microeconomic theory.

en.wikipedia.org SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Alliance Defense Fund allied attorneys have contacted nearly 11,500 school districts across the nation within the last month explaining the law with regard to the celebration of Christmas in the public schools. In addition, information has been sent to mayors of more than 5,500 cities. Source:
jewsonfirst.org Christmas was promoted in the east as part of the revival of Catholicism following the death of the pro-Arian Emperor Valens at the Battle of Adrianople in 378. The feast was introduced to Constantinople in 379, to Antioch in about 380, and to Alexandria in about 430. Christmas was especially controversial in 4th century Constantinople, being the "fortress of Arianism," as Edward Gibbon described it. The feast disappeared after Gregory of Nazianzus resigned as bishop in 381, although it was reintroduced by John Chrysostom in about 400.
MJ Rosenberg, policy director of the Israel Policy Forum, decodes the language of the trumped-up "war" on Christmas, showing how the leaders of the battle are portraying Jews as leading and funding the "war." Click here to read the essay. Source:
jewsonfirst.org In December 2006, Aiken mounted his third Christmas tour, comprising performances in eighteen Midwest and East Coast cities.
