Essence of Christmas

Christmas has always been associated with gift giving. To some, perhaps, it's all about those decorations and foods to eat. without these for some, yuletide season wouldn't be merry and complete.

Is it all about these things? before we complain not having any of these things, just think...how many children would spend Christmas alone in the street begging for foods, or perhaps families spending their noche buena along the sidewalks for they have no home to stay.

Let us go back to the day when Christ was born. He was born in a manger along the animals in the hay. He is the ultimate example of what real essence of Christmas is.

It's about love and sacrifice. He was given by His Father to us because of love. He sacrificed His only son that we may be saved from sins and Jesus Himself at the end sacrificed his life for because of his love to mankind.

It's also about forgiving. Perhaps, it could be the greatest gift we can give this season especially to our enemies.

The song "Give Love on Christmas Day" may say it all. Why don't you give love on Christmas day, no greater gift is there then, love.

So, why don't we wrap some love  and share it to everyone. It's the most priceless gift you can give to someone. No worries spending much taking time buying it from the store it's for free.
