Today is Christmas Eve, Christmas is a celebration of Jesus. It took place from December 25-January 7. That's how the 12 days of Christmas came to be known. It started when Mary and Joseph were engaged, the Lord gave Mary a child without Joseph knowing she had a baby this way. Joseph didn't want to get married anymore but that night he had a dream. The dream was about a angel telling him that the Lord gave Mary the child spiritually and told him to name the child Jesus, meaning God saves. Mary was about to have the child so God told them to go to Bethlehem to have the baby. They did, but they could not find a place for the baby to be born so they went to a stable. Meanwhile 3 wise men saw the Christmas Star, they knew this meant Jesus was born so they went around Bethlehem asking people where Jesus was born. King Herod heard about this so he sent people out to kill him. The 3 wise men realized the Christmas Star would guide them to where Jesus was born so they followed it and found him. The first wise man gave Jesus, Gold. The second wise man gave Jesus, Frankincense. The third wise man gave Jesus Mirth. Then Joseph had a dream about another angel telling him to get out of Bethlehem because King Herod sent people out to kill the child. They did and that's the true meaning of Christmas.
