Celebration of the Christmas Season in its Essence

    

The Christmas season is more than a time of lights, decorations and presents. It is a time that brings people joy, humanity and remembrance of faith. The holiday itself was created to honor the birth of Jesus Christ, the embodiment of hope, humility and devout love for oneself and others. In such a capacity, it encourages people to consider who they've become and how they'd like to live moving forward.

The Christmas season in the Philippines involves great family ties and much religious devotion. The same can be said through any culture that celebrates this time of year. From attending Christmas Eve mass to preparing specialty meals to spending time in communion with extended family, the essence of Christmas is not enjoying all that one has, but instead, sharing the little things with others and appreciating what has been given. This includes blessings, forgiveness, and time with those too busy to enjoy a peaceful day together.

Furthermore, the Christmas season urges humanity and kindness toward others, especially those less fortunate. Through simple things like giving presents to small children or more elaborate things like donating clothes and food to shelters for those in need or throwing a community charity drive to help raise money for bus fare to get back home after the holidays, simple human actions embody the spirit of Christmas as if it's come alive in one's own life.

Therefore, through giving, living selflessly and appreciating those around us namely people we've taken for granted in our busy lives this is what it means to celebrate Christmas in its true essence, for peace and love and caring for others.
