Question

What are differences between present and past Christmas celebration?

Answer

The core of Christmas Tradition has not changed. Singing Christmas song, praying, meditating the story of nativity of Jesus, for example, were still persist.

However, there were difference in supplementary tradition and anti-Natal tradition.

Historical records from 16-20 AD century show that Christmas was a familial and social event, including folk festivals (folk dances, folk play/ drama, etc) and gathering, while present Christmas is more individual.

Present Christmas is more secular. Disinformation against Christmas for centuries via powerful mass media and fast growing popularity of secular Christmas have been fostering anti-Christmas tradition, which potentially sink the true Christmas Tradition. Among religious festivals of many religions, Christmas is at the highest rate of attacks, including physical, intellectual, spiritual, moral, political, and mental attacks both from outsiders and insiders.
