Good morning principal, teachers and fellow schoolmates. I am Suki Fong of form 6A. Today, I am going to share with you the meaning of Christmas. In this day and age, most of us only focus on enjoying our holidays. However, Christmas has different meanings to different people. So I am going to talk about it in different aspects.

From the commercial point of view, Christmas is practically the largest annual economic stimulus for many nations. It is a good chance for companies to make a profit. Taking Hong Kong as an example, in order to attract more customers, shopping malls would be decorated beautifully during Christmas. Also, the revenue of retailers will increase dramatically as people would purchase gifts and cards for their friends. Besides, some restaurants even promote Christmas dinner sets so as to gain more profits. So, catering service would be stimulated as well. Therefore, the meaning of Christmas for business men is to gain more profits.

For Christians, the birth of Jesus is one of the most important events in their religion. So that Christmas is not a festival for them to have fun but to remember the birth of Jesus Christ and worship God. In the morning of Christmas day, Christians will go to church and have worship. At night, they will have an evangelization to spread the love of God to everyone.

For students, Christmas is a big day. We have a long holiday of about two weeks to take a mid term break. Also, we will have different types of celebrations, such as having parties or dinners with our friends and family. Moreover, this holiday can let us put down our pressure from study.

To conclude, although Christmas has different meanings to different people, we should always remember the real meaning of Christmas, which is thanksgiving. We should also give thanks while we are enjoying our holiday. Lastly, hope all of you can have a happy and meaningful Christmas. That's the end of my sharing. Thank you.
