Christmas Days Away (2024)

FAQs

How is your Christmas going answer? ›

Yet, back at work, you will answer the inevitable question – “How was your Christmas” – with the inevitable answer: “Good, thanks.” Admitting you've had a less than perfect Christmas, seems, well, a little unChristmassy.

The Twelve Days are 25 December to 5 January, counting first and last. The Octave, or Eighth Day, is New Year's Day and the Feast of the Circumcision, the day Jesus was circumcised according to the faith. The evening of the last day is Twelfth Night or Epiphany Eve, the next morning being Epiphany.

Answering Merry Christmas messages is easy – just respond with a warm greeting of your own. You can say "Merry Christmas!", "Season's Greetings!" or "Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!"

Depends on your relationship with the person asking. If it's someone from work or someone you aren't close to, you can give a word or couple word response but don't pull out pictures. You can say something like “it was amazing” or “it was relaxing” or “it was a great break” and let it go with that response.

The simplest and most genuine response is to reciprocate the gesture by saying "Merry Christmas!" or "And a Merry Christmas to you too!" This response reflects your appreciation and spreads the joy back to the person who greeted you.

Thank you for thinking of me at the holidays. I'm wishing you a happy and prosperous new year! Thank you for your thoughtfulness at the holidays. I really appreciate it.

Epiphany, also called Feast of the Epiphany, Theophany, or Three Kings' Day, is a Christian holiday celebrated Twelve days after Christmas, typically on January 6.

When was Jesus actually born? ›

The date of the birth of Jesus is not stated in the gospels or in any historical sources and the evidence is too incomplete to allow for consistent dating. However, most biblical scholars and ancient historians believe that his birth date is around 4 to 6 BC.

The 12 days of Christmas is the period in Christian theology that marks the span between the birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men. It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three Kings' Day).

The simplest answer to “How was your Christmas?” Is something like, “Good, how was yours?” You can say great if it was. Even if it wasn't good or great, it's easier to just say it was and get on with the business at hand.

Usually, how people celebrate Christmas is by exchanging gifts, decorating their homes, celebrating with parades or parties, dedicating prayer, and sharing food and drink.

Christmas is celebrated as the day of the birth of Jesus Christ in this world and it symbolizes the significance of life. The name of Christmas comes from the mass of Christ or Jesus. It is the time of the year when friends and family come together and celebrate it with joy and spread happiness with each other.

Get into the holiday spirit: Decorate your home and put up a tree to create a festive atmosphere. Consider hosting a holiday party or participating in a local holiday parade or event. You can also listen to Christmas music, watch holiday movies, or bake holiday treats to get into the holiday spirit.
