Mr. Beat: Why is Christmas so popular

 

[VIDEO] This latest video from "edu-tuber" Mr. Beat just dropped this morning and fitting for the holiday season. It goes through the ancient and religious roots of Christmas - and who know Christmas is a portmanteau of Christ's Mass. It goes through how many cultures around the world celebrated Christmas, I didn't know about Epiphany which would be celebrated through January 6th and between Dec. 25 to Jan. 6 are the 12 Days of Christmas.

We also see how American Christmas traditions began to develop and how it began to spread around the world. Also we see indications of the commercialization and the secularization of Christmas. While for many it's a religious Christian holiday it's generally a very joyous holiday for all regardless of their faith.

I do hope you all are having a safe and festive holiday season! And enjoy this video.
