And this is the month of love, happiness, sharing, giving and forgiving to others. May I ask something? What is the true essence of Christmas? What should it be and why?
            Christmas is the most awaited day or event of some people because this is the day that they can see, hug and kiss their love ones. This is when they have a complete family of some people. Their love ones that is not with them, if they are working abroad or any place will really sacrifice to go home to their families during Christmas eve. Some are busy preparing gifts, toys, and foods to share and give to others. Some also prepare to have beautiful decorations in their houses. It is either inside or outside of the house. There is Christmas lights, lanterns, belens, Christmas tree and many other decorations for Christmas to beautify their house and always present too feel the reality and spirit of Christmas. They have also a lot of foods that is being prepared in the table. Some of the children’s  are very happy and they are always carolling to gain money for Christmas.

            There were so many bright ideas that have been shared for Christmas. Christmas is really beautiful, happy and extraordinary event that we are celebrating. But Christmas can be a simple one. It is not all about money, many gifts and foods and beautiful expensive decorations. It should be simple as it is. We should know how to love, care, share, give, forgive and trust god in everything we do. A simple and happy celebration, simple gift, foods, lanterns and decorations is more than enough to feel the true essence and spirit of Christmas.
