Martin Luther King Jr.'s six principles of nonviolence are:

Nonviolence is a way of life
Nonviolence is a courageous act of resistance to evil, and it is aggressive in spirit, mind, and emotion.

Nonviolence seeks understanding
Nonviolence seeks to win the friendship and understanding of its opponents, not to humiliate them.
Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice

Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice
Nonviolence seeks to defeat evil, not people, recognizing that evildoers are also victims.

Nonviolence accepts suffering
Nonviolence accepts suffering
without retaliation, believing that it can educate and transform.

Nonviolence chooses love over hate, resisting violence of the spirit and the body.

Nonviolence believes in justice
Nonviolence believes that the universe is on the side of justice, and that justice will eventually win.
King's principles of nonviolence emphasize virtues such as understanding, love, peace, and learning. He believed that nonviolent resistance was the moral and necessary path to achieving justice.

Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. This is celebrated on December 25 annually. Merry Christ mas!
