CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS

Someone may say again “It is not the date of Jesus Christ's birth”. How come He was born on December 25 while it was not even mentioned in the book? Why December 25? It is interesting to note that the scholars’ researches, evidences and signs were consistent and conforming to their studies. If the scientists have made insightful, meticulous and phenomenal studies, and we believed on them so why not December 25? It was based on the bible events sequence that are all leading towards the day, in which these chronological events were revealed in the book. It signifies the first Noel and this needs to celebrate that we call christmas because this is how big we praise Him. Skeptics will still insist to disagree but we reasonably need to have a certain day every year to celebrate, glorify, and remember His name and His blessedness. And we are celebrating it hundred reasons.

For the children. We are celebrating Christmas not just for the date of birth but we are doing this for children who represent the infant Jesus. This is the time of the year to give them extra special day. The innocent and pure children deserved to give their big day, make them smile and celebrate their goodness, cuteness, and genuineness just like with the infant Jesus. Because Christmas is for children, Christmas is time of giving.

For Giving and Sharing. It is the season of giving not only to children but to every young and old, every needy and well-off, and every man and woman. We have the whole year-round to do but is it such so nice to have a special day in a year dedicated to celebrate regularly, express vividly, treasure and honor highly the sense of giving? It is not because you need to but you want to. There is satisfying feeling in giving something out of the most you can even in the smallest way. Giving gift is not always available. At times, some people are not doing it at all during the rest of the year but when December comes, there is something automatic in every heart to have the generosity to give. Christmas is sharing. Sometimes, in spite of life’s difficulties all year round but even some people don’t have enough but they don’t’ stop and can always find ways to give, help, gift, and share any amount or in kind regardless if it is small or not. There is divine intervention

For Kindness. Celebrating Christmas is not just giving anything but also treasuring relationships. Christmas is the time where it is easy and so organic to not only give and share but also to forgive. There is always natural feeling to make-up faults, reunite, be sorry and reconcile with your families, friends, and “enemies”. It’s an old and trite phrase to hear “in the spirit of Christmas ” but true this makes these things easier, in the spirit of Christmas. There is magical feeling of instant mutual understanding to humble one another, forgive and forget each other, and start just right or refresh anew. People surprisingly become kind. The snobbish boss, and ill-tempered neighbors, and the street tough guys become softhearted during the season, especially on Christmas. There is always big heart during the season and we celebrate it through valuing the people around us. No matter what, Christmas makes the world thankful, grateful and humble.

For yourself. In all these, there is validation of self-worth living in your heart because you feel you are living kindheartedly and rightfully. There is a fulfillment feeling that you can have in sharing because you care and that makes the person feel the sense of belongingness. The positivity lives and the law of attraction transcends, and that makes you feel your worthwhile.

We were trained to be kind but we need a day in a year to be further kindlier thru sharing, giving, and forgiving, and there is no wrong in giving kindness to humanity. We are celebrating Christmas because we are acknowledging God, paying tribute to children and improving ourselves at least just in a day from the rest of year.
