For much of the world, Christmas is a common touchstone for us, the one day of the year that we all look forward to and cherish. It’s the date on the calendar that is consistent. Different nations have different national holidays, and there are 365 different days of the year that birthdays are celebrated, but Christmas is the same for us all. December 25th is a day where we stop, gather the family around, and bask in the joy and hope and the love. Over the years, we build up memories of this special day.
