The day marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmas tide, which lasts twelve days. The nativity of Jesus, which is the basis for the anno Domini system of dating, is thought to have occurred between 7 and 2 BC. December 25 is not known to be Jesus' actual date of birth, and the date may have been chosen to correspond with either a Roman festival or the winter solstice. Modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, Church celebrations, and the display of various decorations—including the Christmas trees, Christmas lights, Christmas Wreaths, mistletoe, nativity scenes, and holly. Santa Claus, also referred to as Father Christmas is a popular mythological figure often associated with bringing gifts at Christmas for children. Santa is generally believed to be the result of a syncretization between Saint Nicholas and elements from pagan Nordic and Christian mythology, and his modern appearance is believed to have originated in 19th century media. What do children wish for most is a letter from Santa Claus. Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. Because giving presents and several other aspects of the holiday involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, Christmas has become a major event for many retailers.
