To me Christmas means a time of happiness towards
everyone. It is a time when families and close
friends come home from all over the world to be
with the people they love. To most people family
and friends come first in their lives, so this is
obviously a very favored holiday. When its
Christmas time, people exchange gifts often and
take it for granted. This holiday is usually
associated with receiving gifts. Personally, I

interesting point about the place of the
individual in the world. The outline of the story
can be summarized best in terms of the visitations
