It's that time of year. December has come and it's brought all of its joys, including Christmas. But what is the meaning of this special holiday? Is it the gifts under the tree, the lights in the windows, or the cards in the mail?

Christmas is the mass for Christ, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, a time for prayer, reflection, and service. But it can also be what you make of it.

To show you that there are plenty of different ways to have a wholesome Christmas, Bored Panda collected a list of the merriest moments that people have created for themselves and others. From decorating your prosthetics with your kid to serving meals for those in need, continue scrolling and check out the pics. They should start filling you up with festive mood pretty soon!

Bah humbug, that guy was a dıck! Even if you hate Christmas, you make some effort for the one you love. I'm Jewish yet I still cook all day on Christmas for my partner. You do it because it makes them happy.

Ha, I love the little cardboard trailer, so cute!! Your new roommate is cute too. I don’t celebrate Christmas, have not done so since I was 10 but I do respect others needs and wants for the holidays, I mean it’s one day a year, yes I suffer through three months of commercialized overkill, but if I’m with someone and it’s meaningful to them, I’m going to support that.

I stopped celebrating Christmas after my son died and in all honesty it was so freeing! No more pressure! I get to do whatever I want in the month of December with no expectations. I had 24 wonderful Christmas with my son and that was plenty, I'm so good doing OTHER things..it's quite alright making December be what you want it to be..go gloriously over the top or don't celebrate at all, find what creates peace and happiness within you and do something wonderful and kind for someone else! That's a good feeling that we all should be doing every month! Blessings to everyone

I'm an atheist and celebrate Christmas with my family. I love the Christmas season. The lights, decorations, music, food, and togetherness with loved ones. I don't need to worship a god to have a nice day. My country, USA, tends to treat anyone who isn't a Christian as a less important or valuable person. So many people are hyper judgemental. It's absurd. I'm even the one who puts up the tree every year and I'll gladly tell others "Merry Christmas." All this "war on Christmas" talk is pure garbage. This godless heathen loves Christmas as much as any "Christian.". 😆

After more than 25 years my son finally got a Xmas tree last year. His drunken father would always wreck the Xmas tree and trample his presents. His dad died 20 years ago and he didn't want a tree until last year. He left the lit tree up until the lights burned out. We bought new lights this year and relit it. Never too late to celebrate!!!

Just a reminder that some people experience a lot of distress around Christmas time due to a traumatic experience, a painful childhood, or PTSD associated with this time of year. While that doesn't appear to be the case here, it's still worth mentioning because many people tend to react strongly when they hear someone doesn't like Christmas.

My ex was Jewish, and went out of this way to celebrate both holidays with me. Some of his relatives weren't exactly pleased that he went all out on Christmas for me, but he told them it was his joy to make me happy, and if they didn't like it, they were welcome to stay home for Hanukkah and not celebrate that with us either. They came for both holiday celebrations, and I think they had a good time.

That's so sad. Even if one doesn't like christmas, if their partner does, they should make it a happy and special time for their partner. Maybe they'll grow to like it. Refusing to celebrate sounds selfish.

My own husband doesn't celebrate, he was raised as a Jehovas Witness and while he doesn't participate in the religion he was raised in, he sees Christmas as just another day. But he knows it means something to me. So he indulges all my Christmas crazy. Because he is a man who knows that making his wife happy takes little effort.

There should be a place to dump husbands and boyfriends like old Christmas trees. I'll bet you that thing would be full and no where near as hard to say good bye or she'd a tear at the few pieces of tinsel blowing in the breeze. I'll never forget the Christmas morning the neighbor's sliding open their glass doors on the deck that was on the second floor, overlooking their back yard. Next thing I saw was their Christmas tree blasting through those doors like a rocket, shooting clear across the back yard and crash landing into the back fence with enough force to take out a wooly mammoth. They divorced before the next holiday rolled around. I could just picture him shooting those really hard little conversational hearts like buckshot come Valentine's Day.

Shasi and Pallu Patel, who own Meet and Deep Newsagents in Twickenham, London, will dress up in festive outfits, play carols and hand out free mince pies and sweets to anyone who drops in between midday and 2pm. They shared a post on Facebook that read: “If you are alone, pop in for a hug and a mince pie! You don’t have to buy anything, we are family.” This is not the first time the Patels have opened their store on the festive holiday. He said they had the idea after an elderly lady called Dot, who passed away last year, came into their shop just before Christmas, telling them a man posing as a gas fitter had stolen from her. Deepen’s older brother, Neeten, posted a warning on Facebook urging the local community to be extra cautious. To their surprise, people started arriving with gifts for Dot. “It was the best Christmas she ever had,”

As we can see, the message of Christmas is universal and revolves around bringing peace, harmony, and unity among all mankind.

In today’s world, plagued with pandemics, wars, destruction, poverty, and terrorism, such goodwill is necessary to maintain our good spirits. Christmas creates an atmosphere of kindness, brotherhood, and benevolence, and energizes society, which can sometimes seem indifferent to caring values.

But that doesn't mean that we're doomed. In fact, we can be pretty generous. And Christmas has the tremendous power to open up our hearts.

Did you know that nearly one-third (31%) of annual giving in the US occurs in December? The season is a huge deal for the nonprofit sector, driving billions of dollars in just a few days; around 12% of all giving happens in the last three days of the year.

It's hard not to get into the Christmas season with all the festivities, lights, and music, regardless of our own religion or non-religion.

So as a wave of generosity engulfs the world, it's really heartwarming to see Christians and non-Christians alike giving to those less fortunate. Goodwill towards others and the simple sharing of joy and love with family and friends is something all of us hope for and can contribute to.

Way To Go To Save Trees

Way To Go To Save Trees

Two entrepreneurs started a side hustle renting Christmas trees to reduce the number that end up in landfill. Every January, they replant your tree back on their farm so you can rent it again next Christmas. When your tree hits 7 ft, it's retired and planted back in its original forest.

I remember my last day of chemo. That was 16 years ago. I had some peach fuzz by Halloween. Went to a salon and asked for platinum blonde so nobody could miss it. They were reluctant and warned me of the risks, but so nice and did a great job. For the Halloween festivities, I dressed up like a rock star. Had it been Christmas, would have colored it red and green. You ARE a rock star and congrats!
