ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

         

Christmas is the most joyous celebration in the whole world. For we remember the birth of our Messiah, Jesus Christ. This season is always celebrated during the day of December 25.

          When this celebration arrives it means a lot for us. Especially for children and families. We do a lot of things during this occasion. Decorating our houses. Giving and receiving gifts. Eating more foods during Noche Buena, attending Christmas Parties, traveling around the world. And singing Christmas carols with our angelic voices. For us Filipinos, we enjoy the freezing weather in the early dawn. And we also attend Mass called Misa de Gallo or the Simbang Gabi.

           But the true essence of Christmas is all about one heart. A one heart that is full of hope, love, peace, acceptance and Christianity. We give hope to all our neighbors who lose their selves to all the challenges and trials in life. Especially to all the people who were affected by many calamities. We show our love by means of sharing what we had. Helping one another. Peace in our world. We should not quarrel with each other instead we should all unite. Acceptance means forgiveness. Forgive and forget your enemies and to all people who hurt you. And the most important is Christianity, it is good to attend mass and ask for prayers for our families and love ones. We can do all of these when we have a one heart.

    Jesus is the wonderful gift of God to us for he will be the one to save us from our sins. When we do good things to others, our Messiah is pleased with us. And when we show our hope, love, peace, acceptance and Christianity. Our Lord will be happy and contented watching us in heaven. Because what we do to others, we do it to Him. This is His command and His golden rule.
