We wish you Merry Christmas.....we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.... this song is commonly heard when it's December, when Christmas is near.
I can now hear voices form children singing Christmas songs accomplished by different instruments. I can ow see the colorful Christmas decorations like Christmas tree, lanterns and many more. These things made me realize and feel that Christmas is here again. But as an individual, have you ever realized the true essence of Christmas?
As an individual, we see Christmas as a holiday that we celebrate because of the birth of Jesus Christ. Some people see Christmas as receiving gifts day. They think that if they receive gifts, they'll feel Christmas. They only receive but do not give. Let me tell you one true meaning of Christmas and that is giving. As the saying goes, "It's better to give than to receive", it's better to share your blessings instead of keeping these to yourself alone. It's not about letting others know how good you are, but its about you as a person this Christmas. Second, thankfulness, forgiving and saying sorry. This is the best day for yo to thank those people who have done good things to you and who stayed by your side when you were in need. Also, this is the best day for you to forgive he people who did bad things to you and so with saying sorry to those people you've hurt. Third is loving, this Christmas day, love those people who love you. Love them for they always stay by your side when you need them. And those people are your friends, and of coursou celebe your family. Lastly, how you celebrate Christmas. Christmas is not only the food you eat, the decorations on your house, the big Christmas tree that you made, but its how you celebrate Christmas together with you family. Even though you don't have enough food for your Noche Buena, as log as you are complete in celebrating Christmas with your family, your Christmas will be really happy and joyful. These things are the true essence of Christmas.
Christmas is not about colorful decorations and Christmas songs, but its about how you celebrate it. How you value the true essence of Christmas, everything beside and everything in your life.
