It is said that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. God also sent an envoy Gabriel to speak to Yue Se in a dream, asking him not to reject Mary because she was unmarried and pregnant, but to marry her and call the child "Jesus", meaning that he would save the people from their sins.
When Mary was about to give birth, the Roman government ordered all the people to declare their household registration in Bethlehem.
Yue Se and Mary had to obey. When they arrived in Bethlehem, it was already dark, but the two were unable to find a hotel to spend the night, and there was only one stable to stay in.
Just then, Jesus was about to be born. So Mary only gave birth to Jesus in the manger. Later, to commemorate the birth of Jesus, December 25 was designated as Christmas and mass was held every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

Every year on December 25, the birth of Jesus Christ， is celebrated and called Christmas.
每年的12月25日，是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。
"Christmas" comes from the phrase "Christ Mass". A mass is a form of worship. Christmas is a religious festival. We take it as the birthday of Jesus, and to celebrate Christmas. This day, all over the world in Christian churches many hold special worship services. But there are many Christmas activities that have no religious relevance. For example， the exchanging of gifts and sending Christmas cards.
“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩字。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。耶诞节是一个宗教节。我们把它当作耶苏的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。这一天，全世界所有的基督教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。如交换礼物，寄圣诞卡等。

圣诞节(Christmas)一词,源于古英文的Cristes maesse,意思是基督弥撒。拉丁基督徒于AD 336年,开始在十二月二十五日记念耶稣的诞生;东正教则以一月六日为圣诞。我是明珍帆越文秋，希望对你有帮助，谢谢，望采纳。

In order to commemorate the birth of Jesus, the following people set December 25 as Christmas and celebrated mass every year to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
(后人为纪念耶稣的诞生，便定十二月二十五为圣诞节，年年望弥撒，纪念耶稣的出世。)
圣诞节（Christmas）又称耶诞节、耶稣诞辰，译名为“基督弥撒”，是西方传统节日，起源于基督教，在每年12月25日。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节，因为把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，故名“耶诞节”。
大部分的天主教教堂都会先在12月24日的平安夜，亦即12月25日凌晨举行子夜弥撒，而一些基督教会则会举行报佳音，然后在12月25日庆祝圣诞节；基督教的另一大分支——东正教的圣诞节庆则在每年的1月7日。
圣诞节也是西方世界以及其他很多地区的公共假日，例如：在亚洲的香港、澳门、马来西亚和新加坡。古罗马教会在君士坦丁时代（公元313年），就逐渐习惯在十二月二十五日庆祝主的诞生。
据说今年有几个中国城市“禁止”圣诞节装饰。看来这只是一些地方政府零星拒绝外国节日。但中国首都似乎完全不受制于此。批评圣诞节“太西方”的中国学者，与指责圣诞节“肆无忌惮的消费主义”的那些西方教授并无多大区别。可无论怎么做，中国对待圣诞节的方式都经常背负不应背上的黑锅。
在这个庞大都市，人们仍在欢乐地度过圣诞节——尽管这个洋节在北京和中国其他城市向来只是一场购物狂欢。商场里，圣诞老人挥动促销横幅，蛋糕店正销售圣诞树形状蛋糕。甚至还出现新“发明”的习俗，平安夜送苹果——这只是中国水果商的营销活动。
