December has come and we are in the special season once again. A season where we can see putting gifts under the tree, lights in the windows, cards in the mail, preparing for turkey dinner with family and friends, show in the yard, stockings hanging in the living room and shouts of "Merry Christmas" to those who pass in the streets. In short, Christmas is a season of joy, of peace and great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
"Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving." according to J.C. Penny. That means that we should not focus in preparing turkey dinners or expensive gifts but we should also spare time to reflect on the essence of the period which is the love of God for humanity. It is easy to lose sight of true meaning of Christmas. Amidst the delicious meals, sweet drinks, lovely songs and dances, beautiful friends and family members we would come across this season, let's try not to forget about the birth of Jesus Christ who taught us all what real, genuine and unconditional love.
As we celebrate the birth of our savior, let's be human and kind enough to remember and show some love to those who are not fortunate enough to be actively involved in the celebration of our savior Jesus Christ because the spirit behind Christmas is that of giving and sharing.
Special people like you deserve to be happy and let the essence of Christmas do the work.
