Christmas entertainment

Christmas Entertainment:: Social aspects and entertainment In many countries, businesses, schools, and communities have Christmas parties and dances in the weeks before Christmas. Christmas pageants may include a retelling of the story of the birth of Christ. Groups may visit neighborhood homes to sing Christmas carols. Others do volunteer work or hold fundraising drives for charities. On Christmas Day or Christmas Eve, a special meal of Christmas dishes is usually served. In some regions, particularly in Eastern Europe, these family feasts are preceded by a period of fasting. Candy and treats are also part of Christmas celebration in many countries. Another tradition is for people to send Christmas cards to their friends and family members. Cards are also produced with messages such as "season's greetings" or "happy holidays", so as to including senders and recipients who may not celebrate Christmas . Because of the focus on celebration, friends, and family, people who lead more isolated lives, or who have recently suffered losses, are more likely to suffer from depression during Christmas. This increases the demand for counseling services. It is widely believed that suicides and murders spike during the holiday season. However, the peak months for suicide are May and June; because of holiday celebrations, alcohol and drunk driving-related fatalities increase. <<<<----Look out for more information on Christmas, history of christmas, christmas holiday,christmas carol,christmas cake,christmas santa,christmas day,christmas tree,christmas songs,christmas ornaments,christmas words,christmas greetings,christmas ecard,christmas tradition,christmas poems,reindeer,xmas,christmas greeting cards,santa claus,christmas chords,silent night song,jingle bells,christmas sheet music,christmas tree ornaments,christmas mp3,jesus birth,jesus crucifixion,jesus story,about jesus,jesus of nazareth,christmas party,christmas toys,japanese christmas,christmas eve,new year,christmas vacation,reindeer christmas and much more information available only and only in www.christmas-santa.blogspot.com---->>>>>
