These holidays are very important for the children's to help them in understanding religion. Many holidays are celebrated in memory of the elders. We celebrate these holidays to remember the work of our elders. Different holidays have a different way of celebrating these holidays according to the theme of the holidays. These holidays show the culture of the parents and their elders to the children's. For example, we celebrate a day of Tabernacle to offer sacrifices in memory of the journey from Egypt to Canada. It helps children to understand how much difficulties their elders faced to make a peaceful living environment for them? How many difficulties did they face during their journey? And how children's can thank the productivity of Canaan. Children’s might ask their elders that why they celebrate the birth and death of Christ because they don’t understand the history of the Christ and they will consider is just a simple event. They will ask their parents what the reason behind celebrating the birthday of Christ is and why they are forced to celebrate with their parents.

When I was a child, I remember that we used to celebrate Christmas. We were given holidays for almost one month for Christmas preparation. We used to plan those holidays with our parents and leave for a tour to enjoy the holidays without parents. We used to decorate our houses and streets. Every night we used to wait for the Santa Clause to receive our special gifts from him. Childhood was very memorable but unfortunately, in the current era our children's don't know the importance of Jesus, and they are not that much enthusiastic as we were in our time. Traditions are changing with the change in the environment, and children's are getting extracted from these trends. We should make awareness among our children's about the religion and visit church with them. We should tell our children's about the sacrifices of Jesus and told them why we celebrate his birthday and death. We should tell them that just like we celebrate the birthdays of other people, we should celebrate the birthday of Jesus who is our prophet. It is the duty of the parents to tell their children about religion as these define them. Parents should force them to visit the church and read the bible to have strong faith in the religion. The biggest question which may arise into the mind of children when we will ask them to celebrate Christmas is they will ask their parents that why they praise Jesus? Parents are responsible for explaining to them about this question. All the events and holidays which came in the whole year have some history based on the culture of Christians, so like other religions, Christians also have different traditions which they follow on their events.
