The word is divided into two syllables, with the stress placed on the first syllable, "chris". The "ch" sound is pronounced as /k/, similar to the "k" sound in "cat". The "r" is pronounced with a slight flap or tap of the tongue against the roof of the mouth.
The second syllable, "mas", is pronounced with the "a" sound as in "cat" and the "s" sound at the end is pronounced as /s/.
So, when saying "Christmas", it should sound like "kris-muhs".
Christmas is a holiday celebrated on December 25th each year to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a time for family gatherings, gift giving, and sending good wishes to loved ones. The word "Christmas" is derived from the Old English words "Cristes mæsse", which means "Christ's Mass". This refers to the religious aspect of the holiday, as it originally marked the feast day of Christ. Today, Christmas is observed by people of different cultures and religions around the world, with various traditions and customs.
