Christmas from the perspective of a 12 year old Muslim boy in Varanasi

"Christmas is the most important festival of christian on this day houses are dacorated on this day santaclose come and give gifts to the children they exchange gifts and christmas tree dacorated on this day jissus christ born."

Wow. We (westerners) have communicated an interesting mix to those who are outside of our culture. I wonder how many of us even realize there are other perspectives on what we celebrate, what we believe.
