The greatest christmas story

The Christmas story that is the most popular amongst Christian communities is the Nativity. This is the Christmas story which tells about the birth of Jesus Christ. The Christmas story about the Nativity, as stated on the Holy Bible, has been translated in various languages. It informs people about the birth of the infant Jesus in a manger situated on Bethlehem, and it also talks about a star guiding three wise men to the manger to acknowledge the birth of the Savior. The Holy Bible also states that the angels had proclaimed the birth of the Savior by singing melodies that very much represent the modern-day Christmas carols or the act of caroling during the holiday season.

There are even non-Christians and non-Catholics that have heard the Christmas story about the birth of Jesus Christ, and the Nativity is widely popular amongst kids and grownups alike around the globe. But for kids in particular, another famous holiday story is that of Santa Claus, also referred to as Saint Nicolas by most European communities.

Saint Nicolas has been known in European tradition and religious history as the bringer of gifts and prosperity. The modern-day image of Saint Nicolas, or Santa Claus, was popularized by an ad in the mid 1970s about the best selling soft drink - Coke. The modern-day image of Santa Claus, which depicts good old Santa Claus in red robes happily singing while riding on his flying reindeer-driven sleigh, was featured as a TV ad by Coca-Cola during the 1970s, and it has stuck in the minds of children and grownups alike up until now.
