The spirit behind Christmas is that of giving and sharing.
"Loving is sharing, and sharing is loving."
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. A time for us to understand the lessons from Jesus & reflect on them. Jesus brought a new religion based on love & the vision of a God who is full of compassion & forgiveness; a vision of doing everything with a positive mindset & from a place of love.
We give each other presents but do we really know the essence of Christmas? Jesus himself said, “love thy neighbour as thyself”.
The true essence of Christmas is not gifts. The essence is not certainly the material things. The essence of Christmas lies in the name of Almighty the Lord above. For he has the power to change the world.
The essence of celebrating Christmas season is not to have a house full of Christmas lights, having a tall and beautiful Christmas tree full of gifts underneath it and giving expensive gifts. Christmas basically means sharing what you have, not just the material things but also those that can only be felt like a warm, tight hug, a simple thank you, showing our appreciation to our loved ones and forgiveness among others.
Let the essence of Christmas blossom within - as the countdown to Christmas begins.
