The Essence of
CHRISTMAS
Time runs so fast. I can still remember the day wherein I
successfully celebrated some holidays that had passed throughout the year with
great experiences. Experiences which had left something memorable than those
past few years. This year, 2013 and the year of Water Snake will soon be end.
But this time, before it happens, another most awaited holiday were again
coming to our way. Holiday wherein all people are globally celebrating for this
was the most popular and the season of the most joyous time of the year. This
was CHRISTMAS which are normally
celebrated on the 25th of December.
Christmas is a time of generosity, sharing, forgiving and
loving. This was sometimes called RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY which symbolizes a very deep significant truth of
spiritual life as the day when our Saviour Jesus Christ was born. And also, on
my research, Christmas celebrations are
all about dressing up in style, throwing parties, eating sweet foods,
decorating Christmas Trees, exchanging gifts, dancing to the tunes of Christmas
carols, rejoicing in the festive spirit, playing games, singing songs and merry
making. We are also attending the so called “Simbang Gabi”. Many were trying to
wake up early just to attend the said mass, because we believe that if we are
able to complete the 9 days of Misa de Gallo our wishes or dreams in life will
be granted. But sometimes I think, it will do come true if we have the
perseverance to achieve it and to make it real. Dreams are not just a dream. It
depends on us on how we will be able to fulfil it. If we have the hope to get
it, then we will be pursuing to get it. That was the true essence of the
glorious Christmas which we are celebrating based on our culture and
traditions. This can truly touch our soul because we are together, as one in
celebrating with this holiday together with your love ones. Moreover, forget
everything the negative experiences which brought a heavy pains in ourselves,
instead, uproot all those thorns that has in our hearts in clear with the
fullness and amazingness of love for our own lives and the people around us. In
short, forgiving is also the key to have a peace and memorable Christmas for
this year.
Merry Christmas everyone! And have a prosperous New Year!
