Christmas is just around the corner.The most awaited season of the year, especially for us Filipinos.Philippines is a nation, pronounced as an origin of Catholicism.The reason why Filipinos even those residing abroad are always
looking forward to, this time of the year w/ joy and excitement .
The word Christmas comes from the words Cristes maesse, or “Christ’s Mass” w/c means the annual festival of the Christian church commemorating the birth of Jesus, celebrated on December 25 and now generally observed
around the world.
Christmas symbolizes LOVE.God’s love for mankind.He sent His Only Begotten Son,Jesus Christ, into this world to deliver us from sin. The reason why,Christmas symbolizes also gift-giving.
Here in the Philippines Christmas is celebrated for a longer period compared to other countries.In fact, as early as September, Christmas songs are already played everywhere.Christmas decors are usually put-up in advance as early as 1st quarter of November.That only shows how excited Filipinos are to celebrate this Yuletide Season.
As we get busy preparing for this season ,let’s not put aside the real essence of Christmas spirit.In this day and age, the spirit of Christmas has truly become overshadowed by commercialism. With Christmas displays set up in the stores, Christmas parties and reunions,Buying this and that…
We tend to neglect the celebrant,JESUS CHRIST,who chose a stable to be HIS birthplace,and to belong to a family of humble beginning.Meaning,the real essence of Christmas are humility, purity and sincerity to serve rather than to be served.Just hope and pray that this will aid as a motivating factor for our aspiring politicians comes 2010.
