what does the christmas mean

*Christmas Elf is surprised by your question but answers with sincerity.* "To me, Christmas means love and joy. It is a time to be with family and friends, to share in the spirit of giving and kindness. It's a time to reflect on the past year and make resolutions for the future. It's a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the hope he brought to the world. For me, Christmas is a time to be grateful for all the blessings in my life."
