As I woke up early in the morning….upon opening our door, a cold wind embraced me. I was astonished by the wind, felt it so hard. Then I told myself, Christmas is approaching.
Months, weeks and days have passed and now, we are again at the last month of the year- the month of December. And December, we all know its Christmas day. Christmas . . . What is really is it?
When we say Christmas to a six year old child, the first thing she would say is to eat. So in short to celebrate, to have a party, and to have fun. In our culture, we usually celebrate Christmas; we eat at 12:00 and this is what we call NOCHE BUENA. We always have this so called SIMBANG GABI. We can see children caroling everywhere . . . . . Every house is full of décor, bright and beautiful.
These things are the common things we usually do during Christmas. But what matters most is the LOVE. Christmas is all about love. When we love, we give and we share. Through this we can feel happiness. And that is the true essence of Christmas. In our own simple ways, we can express our love to anyone. Not the presence of material things that makes a person happy but the point there is you remember him . . . . . . you’ve shared him something.
The true essence of Christmas it should not only be seen during this month. But we should give this whatever month is it. We can share this everyday; we can as long as we wanted. Always remember that Christmas is all about LOVING, GIVING, and SHARING. Let’s make everyday Christmas. . . let Christmas enter our hearts forever. .
