Christmas

Some songs say that it’s the most wonderful time of the year, some say that it’s the time of giving, some say that it’s in our hearts. Some even add up Frosty the Snowman, and some sing about Rudolf the Red-nose Reindeer. Sometimes, it isn’t even Christmas if it hasn’t snowed, or bells don’t jingle, or Christmas lights don’t bring up the streets.

                What really is Christmas? Maybe for you, it’s the gift-giving. Or maybe for you, it’s the holiday… perhaps, the holidays. Kids would probably think of Christmas just like that. Kids don’t really understand the true essence of Christmas that well.

                Christmas refers to the birth of Christ. It means that Jesus was born. Our Saviour, our King and the Son of God was born. Christmas means that Mother Mary’s baby, Jesus, already went out fr5om her womb. Christmas also teaches a lesson that we must be as humble as Jesus, for He chose to be born, not just reign as the Son of God. He chose to be born in a manger, not in a really good place. He chose to live in the normal life. We should be as humble as He is.

                It also shows not just the existence, but the presence of love and hope. Christmas day exists because of love. That’s why they say “Gove love on Christmas Day.” And that’s why a lot wish every day to be Christmas. So by showing love, the traditional way is to give gifts to people you share love with. That maybe the most awaited part of Christmas to those who are materialistic.

                Christmas is on December, and this month on some countries and places usually brings snow. That is basically why snowmen and White Christmas became famous.

                There are a lot of misunderstandings of “Christmas”, but the real meaning of it is the birth of Christ. A deeper meaning of it is the line “And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day.”
