The Essence of Christmas

Every year, we celebrate Christmas, get excited and anticipate for it. But for what reason? Christmas parties, exchange gifts, and present from grandparents or Santa? These are just a few things that people would think of during Christmas.

Christmas, originating from "Christ's Mass", is the celebration of Christ's birth. The greatest gift that man has received. We tend to forget the reason for this season, for focusing too much on what are we receiving. The true essence of Christmas is knowing what God has given to us, His love and sharing it to everyone. Just like how a Christmas song says, "Give love on Christmas day." It's not the material things that we receive; But it's the thought that counts. We may not have the "boyfriend-girlfriend" thing but the most important is to be with your family and spend Christmas with them.

It will always be the greatest gift I'll ever receive.
