                                 5. Christmas is a wicked act…


                 even earlier than them, TV and various media announce

                 Christmas ahead of us and boost the festival mood. I am
                 sure, at every street and at every house, many people will be
                 busy again this year being excited about festival mood that is
                 already infected with shallow commercialism.’ Actually, I do
                 not want to even put these kinds of stereotyped and useless

                 words on my lips.


                 The next, it is the Bible scholar’s saying. He said, ‘Although
                 Christmas has been originated from the pagan festival, it is
                 historically true that the Christian church has been started

                 and based from the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Therefore, it
                 is very meaningful to choose one day to commemorate and
                 celebrate the birth of the Lord, even if December 25 is not an
                 exact day that the Lord was born on this earth. Nowadays,

                 Christmas has become a universal holiday throughout the
                 world, but at the same time, there is a mixture of Christian
                 elements and worldly elements, so we are at risk that the
                 Christian meaning of original Christmas is fading away.
                 All over the world, the Christmas events that are held by

                 tradition every year now have been changed into a festival
                 where people eat and drink, so people usually spend a busy
                 and loud day without thinking about the true meaning of
                 Christmas. Christmas has already been characterized as a

                 delightful day for many people who live in modern times,
