What Christmas means to Me

Christmas is the favorite part of the year, especially kids because they will receive gifts from their ninongs and ninangs. It is the most awaited part of the year because it is the end of the year and another year will come. Another year of chance and hope. We all know that this 25^th day of December is said to be the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. This is the time of extreme happiness and joy beyond compare.

This Christmas, all of us must show the essence of it to all the people because it is just the way we celebrate it. We must show love to each other. Give and share. And of course, show respect to everybody.

As Filipino citizens, Christmas is already our tradition. We celebrate this annually. This is our way of looking back from the one who save us. Christmas times seemed to be the magical part of the year. The beautifully decorated shopping malls, with toys everywhere you looked, always fascinated me. And the houses, with the way their Christmas lights would glow upon the glistening snow at night, always seemed to calm me. The cold breeze of December reminds me of something.

Celebrating Christmas with the family is the best way to do so. The love of the family could never be replaced by friends, boyfriends, or other people. A complete family is a nice way of showing to the people, especially God the true essence of Christmas in our hearts. We must also learn to forgive people who have hurt our feelings before and also learn to accept them of what and who they are. Each one of us must know the word, “Acceptance”.

For us to be happy this time of the year, God must be with us in everything we do. God should be the center of all things. This time, God should always be in our minds, now and forever because He is the reason of this all.
