I think Linus said it best on the Charlie Brown Christmas special when he said:





';And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid ... And the angel said unto them, ';Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings o great joy, which shall be to all my people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord.';





';And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.'; And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, ';Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and good will toward men.';





';That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.';What is the true meaning of Christmas?
The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
To be with family. To rember the day when Jesus Christ was born, thats why its called 'christ'mas. and also some pray. everyone gives present becouse along time ago saint nickolas(i think thats how u spell it) would give presents to poor people and just married people on christmas eve and they ould ind there presents christmas morning
for me the true meaning of christmas is the baby in the manger that saved us and it only shows how God loves us so much in return we have to love each other too that is why there is a song that says give love on christmas day but its not only on christmas that we should love each other but everyday
To ignore the people who don't have loved ones to spend it with so we can enjoy ourselves?





There is no 'meaning' to christmas. Thats such a cliche.
To celebrate to birth of Jesus....
To remember the birth of Jesus Christ the one who will give us a life after death, all u have to do is get forgiveness from him, and for some get presents, and for some others, have time to be with family, love ya
Its suppose to be the celebration of the birth of Christ, but many people just want gift
