Christmas Comes Once A Year - But Diamonds Will Last An Eternity
|
Christmas originated as a Christian holiday held on December 25 to celebrate the birth of Christ. Its popularity was due in part to its connection to winter festivals held by agricultural societies. By the early nineteenth century, Christmas was given a new meaning and was celebrated as a time of heartfelt family gatherings, goodwill, and compassion toward others. It wasn’t until that time that the first Christmas tree came into existence.
Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert enthusiastically promoted Christmas trees and the idea of placing gifts under them. The concept of the royal family's tree was widely publicized and imitated and today has become a major part of the holiday’s tradition along with the exchanging of gifts. As a nearly universal part of Christmas celebrations throughout history, presents evoke feelings of love and joy. This holiday may only come once a year but the gift of a diamond will last an eternity.
