Essence of Christmas

What Christmas should be?

Christmas- it is when we celebrate the day of birth of Jesus Christ. This is one of the most awaited series of event in our life before we welcome another year.

Before and during Christmas, we have a lot of activities. One is, we make or buy our own Christmas tree and put some Christmas decorations. We also make our surroundings bright by the use of Christmas lights.

At night, some children will have their Christmas carol. Some of us will also attend a Christmas party. During Noche Buena, we prepare a lot of foods. This is the time we give, receive and open our gifts given by our Mom/Dad, Godparents, and others who treat us very special.

These are our activities before and during Christmas. We feel so happy when we have all of these. I know that this is just a temporary happiness. As days pass, our problems will continue to stay in our minds. We cannot hide on it. 

                Christmas is the time for us to give love, forgive, and ask for forgiveness. We cannot live happily if we have our enemies. To reach the permanent and real happiness, we must know the true essence of Christmas.  And the true essence of Christmas is to give love, forgive, and ask for forgiveness. Forgive and ask for forgiveness to your enemies! Give love!
