Hello! Tomorrow is the big day. I believe that most of you are enjoying right now and could not wait to open the gifts from your loved ones. HAHA. Also, probably, some of you are preparing for your noche buena already. Say cheers to ham, queso de bola and fruit salad! Like you, I am excited for the coming of Christmas. Unfortunately, some people cannot feel its spirit because of the crisis that is happening around the world recently. As a matter of fact, only a few Christmas carols are heard on the radio, in malls, and other places. The number of Christmas carolers and Christmas parties also dropped. In addition, I observed that the decorations of some houses become less colorful and attractive. I even heard people complaining because they do not have gifts to give and good food to eat. Christmas is not the same as before anymore. What is happening?
A priest in our parish once said that Christmas is not about expensive gifts, delicious foods, and colorful and attractive decorations. Christmas is about sharing our blessings and giving love, peace, and joy to others. On the other hand, expensive gifts do not matter. It is the thought that counts so be happy. v(",)v
We should not feel bad when we don't have gifts to give, delicious food to eat, and colorful and attractive decorations in our home. At least, we still have our family, friends, and loved ones to spend this very special day with us.
Merry Christmas everyone! May your Christmas this year be more meaningful and filled with love, joy, and peace! Let us not forget its true meaning, okay? v(",)v
God bless you all!
