Is Christmas a Catholic holiday?

Christmas is one of the most significant Catholic feasts. This is when “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).

Why do we give gifts at Christmas?

We give gifts to important people in our lives because the Three Wise Men gave gifts to the Child Jesus, as we see in Matthew 2:1-12. In doing this, however, we should always keep in mind that we are the recipients of the greatest Gift, Christ Himself and the Salvation He provides.
