Christmas is now fast approaching. And who could have thought of forgetting about the gifts? Expensive gifts.
Expensive? Yes, for many people. For they have thought that the essence of Christmas is gift giving. Expensive gift giving. Giving something which depends on the brand, the look, the price.
But, what really is the true essence of Christmas?
Christmas. Christ.
Christmas is the birth day of Christ. It is a day when a baby boy named, Jesus, was born at Bethlehem. It is the day when Mary and Joseph had a child. It is a day which marks the coming of the saviour of humanity from all the evils. It is a day when God had shown his love to us. It is a day which reminds us, people, that God wants us to be like him, like Jesus. And share the love we feel, share the blessings we receive.
We must be a Jesus Christ to everyone, in every way we could: giving everyone our time, support, happiness, care, love. We should love one another: our family, our neighbours, our friends, our relatives, our enemies. And show that we live as Jesus Christ, as our father wanted us to do when he had given his only son.
Most of the times, we forget the true meaning of the real Christmas: as Christ as the center of the celebration and the reason why he is here. And now is the time for us to realise that and do our best to be that Jesus Christ everyone is waiting for.
