Merry Christmas to all!
As we take time to celebrate Christmas with family and friends, it is important to remember the origins of the holiday. Christmas likely began in the 4th century when Pope Julius the 1st designated December 25th as the official date to celebrate the birth of Jesus. By the 17th century, religious reforms were influencing the way Christmas was observed, and it wasn’t until June 1870 that Christmas was declared a federal holiday. Today, Americans continue to embrace and evolve Christmas traditions, incorporating elements such as Saint Nicholas, Christmas trees, Christmas Caroling, gifts and more. This holiday season, let us take time to enjoy and cherish our loved ones. The team here at SkyWest Media/Silver City Radio extends their warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a safe, joyful Holiday season.
