Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world.
The celebration of Christmas started in *Rome about 336*, but it did not become a major Christian festival until the *9th century*.
Christmas runs from *December 25*(Christmas day) to *January 5*(twelfth night or Epiphany eve) popularly known as the twelve days of Christmas.
The English term Christmas(mass on Christ's day) is of fairly recent origin.
In this secular Christmas celebration, a mythical figure named *Santa Claus* plays the pivotal role. Christmas is celebrated on December 25th.
The precise origin of assigning December 25 as the birth date of Jesus is unclear. The new testament provides no clues in this regard.
December 25 was first identified as the date of Jesus' birth by *Sextus Julius Africanus* in 221 and later become the universally accepted date.
Merry Christmas to you all

They are no fewer than 300 communities and villages that have either been totally or partially submerged by flooding in the state.
It also announced that about 700000 people have either been displaced or affected by the flood.
The state govt expressed concern that the impact of this year's flooding might result in a humanitarian crisis.
Virtually all the communities and streets in Yenagoa local govt area have also been either submerged or partially flooded.
Communities in five other local govt areas namely, Sagbama, Ekeremor, Ogbia, kolokuma/opokuma, and southern Ijaw were equally seriously affected by the flood.
There had been reported cases of corpses being washed up at the cemetery in Asokoro, raising concerns of an impending health crisis.
The unfortunate incident would prevent the resumption of lectures at the University now that the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASSU) has called off its eight-month-old strike.
Many roads have been ruined as a result of the strike.
