True Essence of Christmas

Time moves so fast that its December once again. Christmas is only few days from now and the end of the year is fast approaching. We can now hear Christmas songs in radio stations, see dancing colored lights everywhere and of course the holiday shopping rush. Christmas season is also as good opportunity for family reunions and meeting up with old friends. Its also a perfect time to think for our New Year's resolution and our goals for the year to come. As a kid, its always the time I'm looking forward to, being excited of what will be Santa's gift, which is my reward for being good for the whole year (LOLs), party at school and attending midnight mass. But as as grown up, the idea of joining the holiday rush, redecorating the house, wrapping of Christmas presents and preparing for a family get together makes me excited. Christmas songs being played never fails to excite me. It just lifts my spirit, no matter what my concerns are.

Though Christmas is mainly for the kids, we as adults should also take this opportunity to ponder on what have we done for the past year and what we could do in the next year to come. Lets take this opportunity to forget all grievances (though its not the only time we can mend things up, but this will be a good chance). Let people know how much they mean to us and lets not just focus on gift giving and parties. Christmas is the time to reflect on what's the real purpose of the celebration; and its giving love.
