The Christmas Bells are a popular symbol of the holiday season, they announce the coming or arrival of an event, activity, or occasion and toll for good times, and herald in the New Year. People ring bells throughout Christmas to announce the arrival of the season and proclaim the birth of Christ. This tradition can be traced back to pagan winter celebrations when noisemakers were used to scare away evil spirits at night, and some of them were bells. People had fun ringing those bells and making noise and it was so much fun that bells were incorporated into other events and activities. And from those ancient roots, the ringing of bells began to be used in the Christian Christmas season. A fanart Holiday custom progress bar for YouTube with Christmas Bells.
