Christmas is the season during which Christians everywhere give thanks to God the Father for the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. This joyous cycle begins on December 25, the Festival of the Nativity of our Lord.
Filipinos celebrate their Christmas by preparing food, and shopping gifts. Filipinos also love to decorate their houses with Christmas decors. We celebrate Christmas with so much joy but do we know what the real essence of Christmas is?
The real essence of Christmas for me is LOVE. Love means spending time for your family, friends and love ones. The most important thing about Christmas is that we remember the birth of Jesus Christ, not the gifts, the decorations on our houses, etc. Christmas is all about sharing, saying thank you, forgiving people who have sinned and showing our love to the people around us.
Give love and share what we have every day because every day is Christmas. It does not end up on the 25th day of December. It doesn’t end at anytime.
