Christmas is a great time for everyone to get together, socialize, enjoy good food and give gifts. It is the one time of year that just about everyone in the world no matter what their religion is shares the same activities on the same day.

The nativity advent wreath has four candle holders in which a candle will be lit each week and will stay lit until Christmas. The purpose is that each candle represents each week which will represent a different reason to pray and rejoice.
The nativity advent wreath will also have some sort of nativity scene placed around the candles. The nativity scene is very important to the birth of Christ, it is a symbol of the birth place of Jesus and the people that was their when he was born and the people who came to pray with Mary and Joseph and brought gifts after he was born. Many religious people use nativity sets all around the world to represent their faith in their religion. They are very common Christmas decoration displayed somewhere close to the Christmas tree or at least somewhere in the room of which most of their Christmas decoration are placed.
