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 holiday season, what matters most is that the desires
of their hearts are granted as long as nobody is hurt, right?
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.
