The purpose of most christmas stories is to capture
the spirit of the holiday
Since the rise in popularity of ”A Christmas Carol”,
many lovely Christmas stories have been written and read
all over the world.
The purpose of most yuletide christmas stories is to capture
the spirit of Christmas often with touching stories about
the miracles related to Christ’s birth. Many christmas
stories, even the more modern ones, have become a part of
the Christmas traditions in many countries.
This is especially true about the Christmas stories which
have been made into movies, for example, “Rudolph,
the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, “It’s a Wonderful
Life”, “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, and
many other Disney’s cartoons.
The greatest of all Christmas stories is of course the
story about Jesus’ birth, because it is the basis
for Christmas as we know it:
In the Gospel of Matthew, the impending birth is announced
to Joseph in a dream. A star reveals the birth of Jesus
to a group of "wise men” who travel to Jerusalem
from an unspecified country "in the east":
“In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem
asking, “Where is the child who has been born king
of the Jews? We observed his star at its rising, and have
come to pay him homage”. When King Herod heard this,
he was frightened, and all of Jerusalem with him; calling
together all the chief priests and scribes of the people,
he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.
