Come onringthosebells
The document is a Christmas carol encouraging people to ring bells and light Christmas trees to celebrate Jesus's birthday. It describes how everyone enjoys holidays, family time, and sharing love. The carol repeats refrains about ringing bells, lighting the Christmas tree, and remembering that Jesus is the king born for all people and that celebrating his birth is the greatest celebration of all.
Jesus is the reason for your season
The document discusses the true meaning of Christmas, which is about God sending his son Jesus. While Christmas traditions involve Santa Claus and gifts for children, the deeper meaning is that Jesus came so that through him, people can be delivered from bondage and walk in newness of life forever. Jesus came to give people a new life, identity, purpose, family, and destiny.

12 Basque culture and heritage - Christmas
Olentzero is an important character in Basque Christmas traditions. According to mythology, Olentzero was a pagan who lived in the Basque mountains. When he learned of Jesus's birth from a star in the sky, he decided to visit Bethlehem and spread the news. Nowadays, Olentzero is depicted as a charcoal maker or shepherd who delivers presents to children who leave him letters. He dresses in traditional Basque clothing and carries the presents in a donkey. People in the Basque Country celebrate Christmas with families, special foods, singing carols door-to-door, and exchanging gifts associated with the mythical figure of Olentzero.
