Essence of Christmas

“We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” It is just a simple but a meaningful song you could hear from a group of children or even the old ones caroling outside our houses.
The 25th of December is considered as the Christmas Day. This is the season to be jolly and a season for us to give love and share our blessings. It’s time to cheer and let’s all be happy! It’s time to wipe the tears and let’s all be jolly! It’s my favorite time of the year! Happy Birthday Dear Jesus!
One song says, "Let's all give love on Christmas Day!" This is indeed true. Christmas is not just a time to make ourselves happy but it's also a time to give happiness to other people. We also have traditions for the Christmas. One is the blissful, bright, shimmering and wonderful blaze that the Christmas lights and other wonderful decorations which give us delight during this season. It was indeed very wonderful and amazing how these lights give us pleasures of happiness as we celebrate the Christmas Season. Many of us also enjoy singing carols to every house in our community. It really excites me as the season is fast-approaching. The most exciting part is the Christmas Eve and the Noche Buena !!! It's a tradition to most people around the world to prepare a simple yet enjoyable meal for this occasion. It is not important to prepare lots of foods as long as we are with our loved ones as we share our love with them. Christmas time is also a time of giving gifts and exchanging cards. It's not with the costs of these gifts but with how a giver gives it to the person with sincerity, and love with his/her whole-heart.

Let's all celebrate the Christmas Day with love, happiness and thanks. We thank the Lord for the blessings he gave us and we should also ask forgiveness for the wrong things we did. Christmas day should not only be celebrated once a year. The essence of this day should be practiced every day, now and forever. Let us make everyday a Christmas Day.
