What is Christmas?

Christmas. What does it really means? Christmas is the season of joy and gladness. And the key to all our celebration is Jesus our Savior. This is a season of sounds and sights, of carols, lights, pleasant weather, family visitation, and reunions. This all add up to the spirit of joy that should be ours as we praise and thank the lord for the gift of the savior.
Christmas is also a time of surprise. We would always be amazed by surprises it may be may be a gift or a visit from a long lost relatives or friends we haven’t see for years. Christmas is also sharing and spending time with our love ones, friends and relatives. It may even be just going to church together, malling, sharing sad and happy stories together, and watching our favorite movies together.
Christmas also is a time when our heart overflows with gratitude. Gratitude for having many blessings in spite of hard times. Gratitude for having a loving and supportive family, friends and relatives. Come to think of it, we must remember that Christmas really means seasons on of reconciliation and repentance brings peace with oneself and everyone. Forgive those who have sinned against us, or even saying “I’m sorry” to person we have hurt or offended. This would lead to peace between enemies and maybe peace between conflicting countries. Repentance on the other hand means changing for the good of one’s self and others. Each one should be selfless; one should think not just oneself but also of the welfare or good for others.
All of this mention may truly be the true meaning of Christmas. No matter how many meanings Christmas have, it leads only to one thing Jesus Christ our Lord. Times now may be hard we should always think positive, look up in the sky, see the stars and we can find him them there. Christmas would always mean happiness and the reason mainly because of the joyful reality that Christ came to our world. That is the true genuine meaning of Christmas
