CHRISTMAS ESSENCE

As I am writing this one, there were only few days left before Christmas. The Christmas countdown is about to end. The cold breeze in the morning, the different and colorful Christmas decorations we see around are signs that Christmas is fast approaching. When I was Young, Christmas for me is giving gifts, going to places, eating and vacation. But as I am getting older, The true meaning of Christmas is getting clear to me. Christmas day is the day of loving, sharing, and forgiveness.


The true essence of Christmas is how we feel the season, not how extravagant the celebration is. During this season, it is important that family members stay together. Gathered in one table and eat the noche buena, exchange gifts and presents, hear the mass and share stories all over again.


Christmas is just once a year, but we can make it everyday if we like. We don't need delicious foods everyday, we don't need to wear expensive clothes everyday but we could share and give our love to everyone. Lets love each other. Lets forgive and ask for forgiveness. Most of all, Lets offer ourselves to God and let him guide us.
