The Genuine Message of Christmas

Many people claim that the value of giving and to celebrate the birth of Christ are the genuine messages of Christmas. They use Santa Claus as a great example for the value of giving.

What I think is, that the Genuine Message of Christmas is to recall the birth of Christ exactly 2013 years ago in a town called Bethlehem. It is called Christmas because of "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Christemasse and Old English Cristes mæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038.[3] "Cristes" is from Greek Christos and "mæsse" is from Latin missa. In early Greek versions of the New Testament, the letter Χ (chi), is the first letter of Christ. Since the mid-16th century Χ, or the similar Roman letter X, has been used as an abbreviation for Christ.[7] Hence, Xmas is often used as an abbreviation for Christmas.
