Essence of Christmas...

The True Meaning of Christmas

        Lanterns, Christmas trees, lights, Santa Clause, garlands are everywhere when Christmas is fast approaching. We often use to see these things. Do you think these are the essence or the true meaning of Christmas?

        Well, we all know that December is the most awaited and happiest month of the year. When ber months come, we are already having the countdown for the Christmas day. And as what we see and feel the air breezes colder and that the sign that Christmas is coming on our way. Christmas, it’s the time when Christ was born. It is also the time to give love, share blessings and help one another as a gift to our savior Jesus Christ. Before Christmas comes, we have lots of traditions that we are doing. Like Christmas parties or programs where we got together as one group have our fun, games, eat many foods and of course the exchanging of gifts. But I think this is not the true meaning of Christmas. I’m not saying that it’s not good to have that kind of staffs but what’s better is why not give or share our gifts to the ones who really need, the unfortunate one. They are the one who need this. I know they cannot return what we gave to them but Christ will be the one to grant us for what we are doing well to our fellow men. Remember it’s better to give than to receive. So what’s now, try to give coins to the unfortunate people. At least we have shared our blessings and it also means that we gave love, right? Christmas is also the time when all family members have reunions, the misunderstandings are open up and finding solutions to have a happier relationship. It is also the time were we thanks our friends, classmates, relatives, family and Christ that they have been coming in our life. Loving one another, sharing our blessings, spreading the good news about God is the true meaning of Christmas.

        Christmas is our favorite holiday. We must not think our own self but our fellow people, so you will know the essence of Christmas. Learn to love everybody and never forget to thank Him.
