Timeline:--
It is one of the most important days of the year for Christians. The season of preparing for Christmas is called Advent. and begins on a Sunday about four weeks before Christmas. The Christmas Season (called Christmastide) ends 6 January or the Twelfth Day of Christmas, in which Epiphany is remembered.
Tree/Home Decoration:--
In most homes when Christmas is celebrated, people set up a Christmas tree in the house and many people decorate their homes at Christmas time. These are traditionally evergreens, the best type being the Fir Tree which does not shed its needles or lose its fragrance. The tree may be a cut tree that is bought from a plantation or taken from the forest. Artificial trees are sometimes preferred to real trees. These decorations and the Christmas tree are generally inside, but may be put where they can also be seen through a window by people passing by. The Christmas tree is decorated with lights, shiny coloured balls, sparkly tinsel and other ornaments. A wreath of leaves or pine is often put on the front door of a house as a sign of welcome. Some neighborhoods hold competitions for the best-decorated house, and driving around the streets to look at them has become another family tradition. Other plants that have special significance at Christmas are holly which is used as decoration and mistletoe which is hung in the center of a room.

And is it true? And is it true,
This most tremendous tale of all,
Seen in a stained-glass window's hue,
A Baby in an in ox's stall?
The Maker of the stars and sea
Became a Child on earth for me?

for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.

Five Quotes
A song was heard at Christmas
To wake the midnight sky:
A savior's birth, and peace on earth,
And praise to God on high.
The angels sang at Christmas
With all the hosts above,
And still we sing the newborn King
His glory and his love.
