What is important on Christmas?

Facebook walls are now flooded with Christmas greetings, Christmas parties, how one trying to find sexy nurses uniforms (never thought that Christmas event could be fancy dress-themed event too) or gathering ideas from friends on what to give for Christmas. Wow! Christmas is really on the air but if you're here in my place...you really miss how we Filipinos celebrates Christmas.

Though the city's mall in here have Christmas trees and Christmas decorations but still there is no excitement as I count the days leading to Christmas. There's no excitement among children. There's no Christmas parties to anticipate nor Christmas vacation to enjoy. We'll all be in school until the 30th of December. We'll be having New Year's Party though. I terribly miss the goodwill and good wishes and fellowship. On Christmas eve there's no church bells or clusters of families making the annual troop march to Church with grandma.

But I was reminded that having the perfect Christmas doesn't depend on having perfect Christmas party, Christmas trees, ornaments, dress, gifts or vacation. It all depends on your feeling of gratefulness to God Almighty who sent His son Jesus Christ to save humanity from eternal condemnation. We do try to celebrate at home when we can and invite our friends. It is always fun to share with them our food and traditions. As Christians we observe Christmas time by honoring the Lord through soulwinning, helping the poor, singing Gospel hymns, and drawing closer to the Lord in the Scriptures.What is important on Christmas? It is the spirit of LOVE for everyone.

Happy Christmas to all!
