This Christmas season,
it is important for us to bear in our minds the reason why we are
celebrating this yuletide season in the first place. In this month of December,
it is a must for us to remember that our Lord came in this world in order to
save us from our sins; He came to redeem us from the wickedness of this world.
We also have to
recollect the fact that our Lord God is humble being born only in a
manger. This is the message that is sent to us - we must learn how to humble
ourselves, no matter how rich or financially wealthy we are because Christ
himself symbolizes humility. Even though He is a son of God, He did not
demanded for a special “birthing place” or become “man” in a wealthy family;
instead, He was born in a poor family.
Anyway, the essence of
celebrating Christmas season is not to have a house full of Christmas
lights, having a tall and beautiful Christmas tree full of gifts underneath it
and giving expensive gifts. Christmas basically means sharing what you have,
not just the material things but also those that can only be felt like a warm,
tight hug, a simple thank you, showing our appreciation to our loved ones and
forgiveness among others.
