Christmas is nearly coming.. It can now be felt through the Christmas lights that can be seen outside the houses, the chrismas decorations around and through the cold breeze of wind. People are getting excited about Christmas. They are now doing preparations for them to be ready on December 25. But what is really the true essence of christmas? How can we celebrate it in a special way?
For me, Christmas is one of the most special occasion to celebrate. It is the time to reunite or to be with your love ones. For nine days, from the dawn of December 26 to December 25 we are attending the Misa de Gallo to welcome the birth of Christ. One of its true essence of celebrating Christmas is remembering the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior. It is the best tine to thank him for everything he has done especially for giving his life for our safety. We can also spread the good news of the Lord by doing good. Giving... and Sharing... These two are another essence of Christmas. We must not think of how expensive the gift is but the most important is the value of the gift and the one who give. People now do sometimes expect for material things, and they forget about the real perpose of gift giving.
One thing we can do is to do good in our own community. It is one of the best way to celebrate Christmas-by giving a helping hand. We can share our time so we can be aware of the problems that our community is facing. We can help in beautifying our locality and we can start it in our own houses. We can also give things taht we have to people in need-- food, dresses, and even toys for the children. In these ways, we can make them happy.
But one thing is for sure-- LOVE is the best gift we can give and share to everyone-- to our family, relatives, friends, even enemies,to our community and to our Mother Earth..
Let us not forget the real essence of Christmas..!!
