I don't know a lot about Christmas, just according to some films and the lesson of this topic, I can talk about it. Before I have always supposed that Christmas is to celebrate New Year's day, but then I learnt that the point actually is to spend time with families and close friends and buy presents to each other, and the things I like about Christmas are the Christmas tree, shopping and presents. They seem to be charming for me. I wish I could have experience it by seeing closely.
In my country, we only celebrate New Year like every country and I don't think that there is much to talk about what people they do at this time except of having fun, but as for me it is a bit tragic to have fun crazily or ecstatically like being unaware of the other world, since we left behind us a 365 day old of another year once more again and get new calenders to our homes. For each leafe leaving our calendar it falls one by one from our numbered lifetime. Moreover, when I take a look at the lives of many people in the world, I infer that they had forgotten important spiritual values in a corner like values, beliefs, being careful, family, friends and life, if and only if, the ambition of earning wealth and material things fascinate us so much, that we spend our times with this kind of stuff and we forget the treasure of soul. Therefore, we should never forget that the time passes very quickly and death might catch at an unexpected moment, so the gate of life will be closed forever to us and unfrotunately the last repentance doesn't give benefit, because we are in that we have forgotten about the most important things
Love, Peace, Humbleness, and Sincerity, what else to be said?
I wish all people to have these for the New Year.

I don't know a lot about Christmas, just according to some films and the lesson of this topic, I can talk about it.

I don't know a lot about Christmas, but I can talk about what I do know from films and the topic of this lesson.

Before I have always supposed that Christmas is to celebrate New Year's day, but then I learnt that the point actually is to spend time with families and close friends and buy presents to each other, and the things I like about Christmas are the Christmas tree, shopping and presents. They seem to be charming for me.

I have always assumed that Christmas was to celebrate New Year's Day, but I learned that the point is actually to spend time with family and close friends, buy presents for each other, enjoy each other's company. The things I really like about Christmas are the shopping, the presents, and the Christmas tree because they seem almost magical.

I wish I could have experience it by seeing closely.

I wish I could have experienced it firsthand.

In my country, we only celebrate New Year like every country and I don't think that there is much to talk about what people they do at this time except of having fun, but as for me it is a bit tragic to have fun crazily or ecstatically like being unaware of the other world, since we left behind us a 365 day old of another year once more again and get new calenders to our homes.

In my country, we only celebrate New Year's like every country does and I don't think that there is much to talk about for New Year's celebrations except for having fun. For me, it is a bit tragic to find fun as something so crazy or electrifying that we forget about everyone else simply because we left 365 days behind once again and are able to have new calendars in our homes.

For each leafe leaving our calendar it falls one by one from our numbered lifetime.

We seem to be oblivious to the fact that for each page leaving our calendars, another day is gone from our numbered lifetimes.

Moreover, when I take a look at the lives of many people in the world, I infer that they had forgotten important spiritual values in a corner like values, beliefs, being careful, family, friends and life, if and only if, the ambition of earning wealth and material things fascinate us so much, that we spend our times with this kind of stuff and we forget the treasure of soul.

Moreover, when I take a look at others' lives around the world, I get the sense that they have forgotten important spiritual values hidden away in a dusty corner. Values such as beliefs, being mindful, family, friends, and life itself. And somehow it seems that if only the ambitions of wealth and material things would stop fascinating us so much, we would forget about things and remember the treasure of our souls.

Therefore, we should never forget that the time passes very quickly and death might catch at an unexpected moment, so the gate of life will be closed forever to us and unfrotunately the last repentance doesn't give benefit, because we are in that we have forgotten about the most important things Love, Peace, Humbleness, and Sincerity, what else to be said? I wish all people to have these for the New Year.

Therefore, we should never forget that time passes too quickly and death is unexpected. When the gate of life closes on us forever and, at last, repentance doesn't provide any benefit, I hope it is not then that the important things, Love, Peace, Humbleness, and Sincerity, are remembered. I hope for all people to revive these for the New Year and the years, or days, yet to come.

I don't know a lot about Christmas.  I can talk about that which I have come to know from some films and the lesson on this topic.  Previously / In the past, I have always supposed / assumed that Christmas was to celebrate New Year's day, but then I learnt that the point is actually is to spend time with families and close friends and to buy presents for each other.   The things I like about Christmas are the Christmas tree, shopping and presents. They seem to be charming to me. I wish I could have experience it firsthand. In my country, we only celebrate New Year like every other country and I don't think that there is much to talk about what people they do at this time except for having fun.   As for me it is a bit tragic to have crazy and ecstatic fun while being unaware of the rest of the world, since we have just left behind us another 365 days older of another year once more again and get new calenders for our homes. For each leaf of our calenders that we turn over one by one, one more month of our numbered lifetime has passed. Moreover, when I take a look at the lives of many people in the world, I infer that they had forgotten important spiritual values in some corner, such as values, beliefs, being careful, family, friends and life.  If and only if, the ambition of earning wealth and material things fascinate us so much, that we spend our time (s) on this kind of stuff and we forget the treasure of our soul, then life has little meaning (for example).

Therefore, we should never forget that the time passes very quickly and death might catch up on us at an unexpected moment when the gate of life will be closed  to us for ever and, unfortunately, the last repentance is of no benefit to us, because we at that moment we have forgotten about the most important things: love, peace, humility and sincerity. What else is to be said? I wish all people to have these in the New Year.

My friend, you have written very well and the previous corrector has done a very good review, so I am not going to repeat that.   Christmas is a Christian religious feast to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.   What you see and hear today is a tragic commercialisation of this feast which leads to the even greater tragedy, that many so-called Christians even forget about this. 

Well done!

Thank you very much my dear friend for all your terrific corrections=)) by the way I felt too bad because of the fact that I forgot to talk about Jesus Christ in Christmas, because in this lesson there was something related to Jesus Christ as you said above( to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ), but I forgot to say it.

Hello! Especially today I don't want to correct your "mistakes" of writing or grammar, just comment on your amazing  point of view about the Christmas!

 

In fact, his explanation of Christmas, under the vision of someone who does not know the true Christian traditions of this feast, let me impressed considering that the real purpose of the celebration is actually bring the man back to the reflection of the most important values ​​in life, values ​​which, over the 365 days of the year that is ending people might be forgot about it because of the unbridled pursuit of happiness assigned supposedly to material things, to wealth. to the conquest of a good social position, a better job, a new romance, a new car. This frenzy not allows  to the men to foresee that, the  happiness is actually in simple things like you have mentioned: the love of family, friends, the faith, the pursuit of inner peace! The cultivation of the spiritual gifts that are the true "Christmas gifts" given by God to men, whose gifts should be cultivated during the 365 days of the year to come, and at the end of these days should be renovated and improved, and so forth.

But. through my Christian prism, this celebration of Christmas has a lot of meaning,

We can start with the tree, which represents life, protection, fruits, shade, shelter. - The perfect place for the man meeting down, reflect, make friends, develop their love. The gifts exchanged: undoubtedly symbolizes the Divine bond with men, where these gifts mean to me the multiplication of heavenly gifth, who received from God, men must distribute among them being these presents, love, justice, the affective peace of soul, purity ... That these gifts are distributed by God to the  men, and they should distribute them so graciously as they have received them too .

This would  be undoubtedly  the meaning of Christmas through my vision:

First recall the birth of our great master Jesus, this is the reason for the existence of Christmas (birth), the gift sent from Heaven for us, then the "distribution" of this gift to all human beings that surround us! And this attitude, as you said should be followed and practiced throughout the years that follow!

A big hug and a Happy New Year, lots of light and peace to his soul!

and my desire that the gates of Heaven was never closed for you, or for all of us!

Hello, sir) Firstly, thank you so much for the explanation about Christmas and for your opinions. At least, I  anymore know the most important things related to Christmas thanks to you))

Besides, my point was about the celebration of New Year by those people I have said above, because we here only celebrate it and mostly I have explained it what I see from the people who celebrate that in my country. 

Also again thank you so much for your desire about the gates of Heaven. I hope it as you hope))
