Essence of Christmas!

December, a month to remember. It's not just anyone's birthday or anniversary bu it's the season where everyone have been waiting for. The season of joy, peace and love. The time when Christ was born. The day where the world have been waiting for.

So, what's the essence of Christmas for you? Is it for the delicious foods in the table during Noche Buena? or the gifts being opened under that Christmas tree? or maybe the money that are given when you go caroling?

     Christmas for me is the time of forgiving and forgetting. It's the most wonderful time for us to realize and reflect for all the wrong things we've done to other people and to forgive those who also hurt you. And when you forgive, you forget. Christmas is the meaning of love. Love of God and the love of all the people surrounding you. When all the hatred and bitterness will be forget and for us to start a new year of our lives. Remember the bible verse John 3: 16 “For God so loved the world that he gave us his only begotten son, that whosoever believe

in him will not perish but have eternal life.” That we should put in our hearts and minds about the love of God and to spread love to everyone, to give a helping hand for those in need.  It's also the time where we should be thankful to God. For sparing us our lives and counting us among the living.

The spirit of Christmas is giving and sharing. Even if it's a simple present as long as it comes from the bottom of your heart you'll be appreciated. Let us not forget our lord Jesus Christ, who taught us all what real, genuine & unconditional love is.

It's about cherishing and celebrating the love you share. Spend less on gifts and more on relationships! Merry Christmas everyone!
