It's a holiday celebrating the birth of the Christ child. There's a lot of stories and traditions around it... if you want details, I could probably rattle off a few I remember.

Mm-hm. See... there's a story that, on the night of his birth, a star settled over where he was. Three kings followed the star until they found him. They knew he was the Son of God, so they brought gifts. So, part of the celebration is exchanging gifts.
