Christmas is the day we commemorate the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. For some people, it is a holy day for religious services while for others it is the day for gift giving, feasting, and good times together with their families and relatives. A time of giving, sharing, loving and forgiving one another. But do we still see the true meaning of Christmas in our humanity at present?
Everyone is excited to welcome Christmas Day. And what is their reason in doing this so? Maybe for others they wait for the ‘Misa de Gallo’ for them to complete in attending the 9 consecutive masses at dawn and believed that one can make a wish and this wish will be granted if she can able to complete the mass. While others, they wait for them to have Christmas caroling together with their friends. Young children and even the old ones can do the caroling. And little children are so happy to receive gifts as well as money from their ‘Ninongs’ and ‘Ninangs’. And for the Noche Buena time, I’m sure everybody is excited in preparing foods for this as well as when the real Noche Buena time is going on.
These deeds are parts of our yearly Christmas event. They now become a factor of our culture. For sure, every person feels so delighted in performing these acts. But then may we not forget the true essence of Christmas in which it is the time of sharing, loving and forgiving one another. We must let love disperse among human race not only during Christmas days rather everyday that God gave us.
