Good to know: Why do we actually celebrate Christmas?
Christmas has a very long tradition. The word comes from the Middle High German “ze den wihen nahten,” which means “in the consecrated (holy) nights.” Originally, people celebrated the winter solstice—the point in the year when the days begin to grow longer again and the light returns. Later, this festival became closely linked to the Christian tradition celebrating the birth of Jesus. Over the centuries, many customs have developed from this that remain deeply rooted in our culture to this day
