TRUE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS.

Christmas, as we, the Catholics, know that this is the birthday of Jesus Christ, our savior. Most of us believe that it is the giving and receiving of gifts, day of parties and games.

God gave his only son Jesus for us to be saved from sin, and that is the gift we received from our creator, but in my opinion its not just only a gift, but it is his way for showing his love for us, he wanted to save us from sin because he loves us so much.

So for me Christmas is not only about material gifts, it is not only celebrating it by parties and games. For me it is a day to set aside the hate, and think about loving and caring for each and every one of us. For me it is a day to share happiness, help those who need help, and love those who needed love.

May we the true essence of Christmas be always in our hearts and minds, through out the year, not only in the month of December or in "-ber months". LOVE our fellowmen, forgive those who have sin with us, care and help those who are in need of help.
