The most wonderful time

What does Christmas mean to you? Is Christ the reason or you are the reason for the season?

                        

I pondered on this question simply because of how we go about this wonderful season. The season comes in different shades to different people reflecting their diverse cultural background. I went to the shopping mall and it was unbelievably crowded and I wondered if  Christmas is all about shopping. 

      

         

To some people it is simply the best time to shop because of the offers and discounts. To others, it is the time to get closer to God, reflect, plan and make a list of 'dos and don'ts' popularly known as 'the new year resolution' which I doubt with due respect would survive the first week of the new year.

In any event, it is the most wonderful time of the year to make peace, reunite with friends and family. If you don't have anyone, don't worry it is also a time to make friends and if you are lucky enough it could lead  to a  happy ending of the  year and a wonderful beginning of a new year. Therefore, It is that time of the year to get hooked up while partying  real hard.

             

With these thoughts playing tricks on my mind I found that we are actually the reason for the season. It is about you and I really.

Christ was conceived for a purpose and that purpose is you and I. You are indeed special and you have every reason to celebrate but do remember to smile more often and share in every little way you can especially with those who have no one to share with or receive gifts from. A warm touch will go a long way to brighten someone's face and day. Give it!

Christmas is indeed all about giving just like christ has been given to us for our salvation and redemption.

Merry Xmas and Happy new year special one. Enjoy the most wonderful time of the year...
