Spirit of Christmas

Everytime the month of December comes, it's like the whole place is filled with color. Those flashing lights and delightful decorations make the celebration more meaningful. But, are these enough for our preparation for the coming of Jesus? Sometimes, we forget that 'his coming' is the main reason why we're celebrating Christmas.

In the streets, I see a lot of unfortunate people, most of them are just kids earning money to feed themselves. Questions pop into my mind like "How do they celebrate Christmas?" or "Do they even celebrate it?". These questions are left unanswered.

People blessed with luxury often waste their money buying unnecessary things like new clothes, shoes, jewelries and others during this time of the year just to show-off or brag of what they have. They aren't thinking about the others who are working hard just to have a decent feast for Christmas eve.

Love is the key for us to be prepared for 'his coming'. We should realize that the true meaning of Christmas is not measured on the value of gifts you receive or how expensive is your feast. It is the love that should reign in the hearts of each and everyone of us.
