So most Christians, the origin of Christmas is tied directly with the birth of Jesus Christ as detailed in the bible. But there are a number of customs and traditions related to Christmas which have absolutely nothing to do with the celebration of the birth of Christ.

For example Dec. 25th is the Christmas day. However no one is actually sure exactly when Christ was born. It was most likely in late summer or early fall about 2,000 years ago. So the use of this date probably originated with the ancient birthday of the son god Mithra who was a pagan deity. The significance of this deity became widespread in the Roman Empire during the first few centuries after the birth of Christ.

This lead to a celebration of various Pagan deities around this time of year. Eventually Rome converted this Pagan celebration to a celebration of the god Saturn and the rebirth of the god during the winder solstice period. This winter holiday became known as Saturnalia and it began a week prior to December 25th. This festival was characterized by gift giving, feasts and merriment. It was a very joyous and festive time.

Variations of this holiday flourished during the first few centuries of the new millennium. But in 336AD, Emperor Constantine officially converted this pagan holiday into the Christian holiday of Christmas.

Expectant teen mothers, for example, many times don’t understand at first the amount of work and responsibility involved in raising a child. Some teen girls romanticize the idea of parenthood, expecting that their life will continue, pretty much is normal, except that now they will have this great baby that loves and adores them. The reality can be shocking for many new teen mothers, and some may find themselves facing an overwhelming amount of responsibility and hard work.

Teenage fathers can also underestimate the stress and hard work involved in being a parent, and often they lack the maturity to stick around. Of course, it’s not easy for them either — most teenage fathers have no idea what to expect as a father, and more importantly, they have no idea what is expected of them.

In these cases the teen mother is very often left to fend for herself. If the young mother is lucky, she will have a large, supportive family to help pick up the slack. But many teen mothers do not have this critical support network, and can begin to feel that they are all alone. But the fact is there is help out there for teen parents who are struggling.

There are programs, for example, to help ensure your baby’s good health, and even assist in providing food for the baby. Even before the baby is born, their are organizations providing nutritional programs for teen mothers, to ensure their child will be born healthy and happy. Other programs can provide additional prenatal care.

The WIC, for example, provides financial assistance with buying formula for your new baby, as well as breast-feeding support. The organization even has free counseling and educational services for the new mother. There are videos, books and pamphlets on a wide range of teen parent concerns, and most of these resources or either free, or can be rented or borrowed.

Another great resource for teen parents in need is your local church. In many areas, local churches have food banks that will gladly donate to young parents in need. Normally you do not need to be a member of the church to receive this help. Likewise, the Salvation Army has programs distributing free food at many times of the year. They also have the famous Toys for Tots program, which can be especially helpful to young families at Christmas.

Parents Anonymous is another young parent support group. This organization allows you to speak to other teenage parents, sharing experiences and tips for raising children and maintaining your own life as well. All of these organizations and support groups are there to help the teen parent adapt to their new role, and be the best parent and provider they can for their new child.

If we see the history, the last kid to have got the opportunity for free run of the White House in Washington, D.C was Caroline Kennedy. That time she was only 3-year-old when her father, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, thirty-fifth President of the USA, took oath of office. On the other hand, her younger brother John Junior Kennedy was virtually there since birth. Their tender ages caused their 31 years old mother, Jacqueline (28 July1929 – 19 May1994), to severely protect their privacy.

Famous Presidential historian, philanthropist and public speaker Doug Wead, the author of best-seller “All the Presidents’ Children” said that he already has interviewed nineteen presidential children, and got most of them loved living at the White House. In this connection Susan Ford, the amorous daughter of the late President Gerald Ford, impressed her friends when she was allowed to host her prom at the White House. But she agrees that pomp and circumstance comes with a price. She added, “It’s the articles that are written, the critical letters that you get in the mail from people who don’t even know you who just read something in a magazine or a tabloid or whatever. And you really don’t ask to be there.” On the other hand, Chelsea Clinton (born 27, February, 1980), only kid of former American President Bill Clinton, was just 12 when she came, with her family, to the White House. And she enjoyed around eight year’s mostly off-limits status by the typical media.
