Every person has his own priorities, his own wants and needs. Some people may choose material things, while others may prefer tangible ones such as love, peace, prosperity and good health among others. No matter what these people wish for these Christmas holiday what matters most is that the desires of their hearts are granted as long as nobody is hurt.
This Christmas season, it is important for us to bear in our minds the reason why we are celebrating this season. In this month of December, it is a especial month for us to remember that our Lord came in this world in order to save us from our sins. And it's time for us to celebrate his birth through spreading go0od vibes and love.
Christmas also guides us to be humble because our God is born only in a manger. It serves that we must keep our feet in the ground no matter how rich or wealthy we are. Anyway, the essence of celebrating Christmas season is not to have a house full of Christmas lights, having a tall and beautiful Christmas tree and giving expensive gifts. Christmas basically means sharing what you have, not just the material things but also those that can only be tight hug, a simple thank you, showing our appreciation to our loved ones and forgiveness among others.
For many, Christmas is a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. This festivity is extended throughout the winter season and immediately following the twenty-fourth day of December. Communities around the world unite with one another to rejoice the birth of their “Savior.” Many religious individuals attend church to commemorate their “King” spiritually, while others may join their families at home for a special gathering. However, growing up in a Jewish family I experienced the Christmas holiday quit differently.
Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving.
