The atmosphere was replete with joy, the faces of people was painted with glittering glee, and the world was filled with HOPE.
It didn't happen once upon a time, it happen a long time ago in one cold starry night at Bethlehem. Where a baby boy was born who slept in a manger with his father and mother. There were kings who also traveled a long long way just to give gifts and bow down to this child. Angels across the sky came down rejoicing and glorifying the child.
While sitting in the corner the cold breeze embraced and wrapped my whole soul, the mist of the air kissed me. I can see many colorful lights surrounding the city, I can hear those voice singing this songs over and over, I can feel it--It's CHRISTMAS!
I can always remember how my Mom would tell me about this story. Its story is more than that fairy tales depicting about a prince saving his princess nor a myth of something or a tale about spectacle fairies in Magic land. It is something more. Its story is more than special.
The birth of this child named Jesus Christ was the start of everything the incipient of yuletide season. As December approaches we also begin to decorate our homes, put lanterns, Christmas lights, prepare mouth-watering food, expensive gifts for our love ones but is this the true essence of Christmas ?
Well, it seems like the spirit of Christmas is fading. Let us be reminded that the significance of Christmas is to be celebrated not just for a day--but everyday!
It's not about merry making, not about delicious food, not about expensive gifts nor decors. I was was when God sent his only begotten Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. The time when we were all enlightened.
Let Christmas be practice everyday from now and then...Spread the good news, Spread goodness, Spread joy and spread the LOVE.
Merry Christmas to you! Merry Christmas tommorow! Merry Christmas to the next days! And Merry Christmas forever!
