3 - What time is it? Its Christmas time!

What is your favorite time of year?

This is the most awaited time of the year. Different traditions, culture and ways of celebrating it... Time for peace and giving. Time for appreciating all the blessings you receive within the whole year. Season of red and green, where smiles from everyone can be seen. Who else doesn’t know it? Of course, it is the Christmas Holiday.

          Christmas or Christmas Day comes from the old English word, Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass”, is an annual festival honoring the birth of Jesus Christ. It is observed most commonly on as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. It is known as the time for gift-giving and sharing. But for me, it is the time for fun. I believe that as it is the time of Jesus, God also wants us to have fun and rest at least a little time from all the hard work we’ve been doing. Christmas is for us to enjoy. From the delicious food and delicacies coming from the different countries down to the beautiful gifts and presents, all of these are worth to be relish and appreciate.

          And of course, the family gatherings won’t be forgotten on the list. Family members from the farthest side of the country will all be complete again through the help of Christmas. Reminiscing all your happy moments together… Doing the things you usually do before… A family reunion as they called it. And of course, when there are family reunions, there would be door-to-door parties. Games of different kinds and cute gifts. Santa Claus everywhere, children caroling house to house and Christmas lights twinkling brightly with neon colors. What a wonderful time it is!

          But let us all remember the true meaning of Christmas, it is about Jesus Christ. What are things related to Jesus Christ? Love, family, and children. No matter how expensive the gifts we have, the most delicious meals we have in our table or the number of parties we have attended, when we don’t know how to really celebrate it, everything will turn into nothing. Christmas is spend spent with our loved ones with the alive presence of Jesus’ spirit that is why it is my most favorite time of the year.
