What does Christmas mean to you?

The Christmas season is unarguably the most significant and interesting festive period in history. This season is widely believed to be the celebration of the birth of our Saviour, The Lord Jesus Christ. But really have we stopped to ask ourselves the essence of Christmas? Christmas isn't about merry making, it transcends the exchange of gifts, messages, visiting loved ones or families, vacation in dream places, dancing and singing Christmas carol, decorating everywhere etc but it represents loving and giving – not to our family members but to those who can't afford to celebrate- eat, wear new clothes etc Simply put, the poor, helpless ones in motherless babies homes, orphans in the streets, hospital patients, prisoners, beggars

Christmas is a period to reflect on the nature of Jesus Christ who while on earth was (and is still) humble, compassionate, loving and kind to a fault. It is a time to appreciate Him deeply for sparing our lives and that of our families from the evils that ran through the year. Chiefly, it is a period to amend our ways and follow his footsteps.


Will end with these deep quotes

J. C Penney, "Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving"

George F. McDougall, "Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God"






Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in Advance.
