We, the Catholics, celebrate Christmas every 25th day of December. That has been our tradition from a long time ago. Everytime, when Christmas is nearing, we would all go caroling, busy buying gifts and preparing food and making ourselves happy. But, do you think these things are all about Christmas?
Caroling, gifts, foods? These are not the true essence of Christmas. Boyfriends, girlfriends? Oh! come on! When did Christmas became a Valentine's Day? What's wrong in being single for Christmas? What's with "Samahan ng Malalamig ang Pasko"? The true essence of Christmas is almost forgotten. The reason of having Christmas is almost buried.
We are all given equal opportunities. There is no one who has a cold Christmas for having or not having a boyfriend or a girlfriend because they are not the reason for us to have a happy and warm celebration. They are not its true essence. It's God and only God. His ever shimmering light showers us warmth brightens and leaves us a meaningful celebration but it's up to you whether to embrace it or not.
Lots of food, receiving and giving gifts, no matter what you have, as long as you are with God, you are experiencing a true feeling of Christmas. Do not wait for anything in return but be contented with you have for He had planned everything for us from the very beginning and when He had decided to give us us such great gift.
