Cold breeze, carolings, and 'simbang gabi' mark the beggining of Christmas Season. Every 25th day of December we celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ,our Saviour. We buy gifts, decorate our houses with garlands, christmas trees, 'parols' and prepare food for the Noche Buena...But what is the real essence of Christmas?
Christmas is about giving, sharing and loving without waitng something in return. Who haven't heard the song "Give Love on Christmas Day"? It states everything about Christmas. It says how this less fortunate people who don't have anything still give something. It's not the price that counts but it's the thought. A simple card may do when it was made from the heart. Christmas is also about forgiving the people who sinned against you and asking for forgiveness to people you have sinned. It's a season which makes the whole world seem perfect for peace, love, joy and gentleness fill the Earth.
Yes, it is celebrated only once a year. The Christmas season only comes on December but its real essence--loving, giving, sharing and forgiving must be in our hearts FOREVER and ALWAYS.
