Wherever you are in the world, whatever continent, one would know the time of the year called Christmas. The moment where our Savior Jesus Christ was born in a manger in Bethlehem well over two thousand years ago.
Through the years, humans have been celebrating and considering Christmas as the time of the year when we get gifts and money, where lanterns and lights fill up the streets, where fireworks and firecrackers are the only things we see and hear in the streets and the sky. But is this the true essence of Christmas? Is this the reason why we celebrate this joyous occasion we call Christmas?
This must change. Christmas is not about the gifts, or the money we get, or the jolly making. It's about sharing what we have, giving our love, and being with people who mean the world to us. This is what Christmas is all about. When we give gifts, it does not need to be extravagant nor does it need to be expensive, all we need is something that came from the heart, something we don't regret giving. The biggest gift we can give is our lobe and our time. nothing else comes close to these two. Christmas is also a time that we need to realize and cherish the unending, unconditional love that jesus, our Father have given and is continually giving to us.
Friends, let us all get together and cherish this wondrous occasion. This joyous festivity is not for the shimmering lights, loud bangs, and the gifts, it is for the love, for the family and for the remembrance of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us spend this short awaited time with the ones we love, because in the end of the day, they will be the ones who will stick with us through thick and thin, and this is the true meaning of Christmas.
