TRUE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS

-"Whenever I see girls and boys selling lanterns on the street, I remember the child in the manger as he sleeps"-

YES! It's CHRISTMAS again! and I expect to see lots of people giving gift to their loved ones. But is it really the gift that matters during Christmas?

Christmas is the time of sharing and showing your love to your fellowmen. And for me the most important thing during this especial event is the bonding with your family and relatives. In our family we usually have a simple gathering during the 25th of December. It is already like a tradition to us. We share stories about the things happening in our school and others. We really enjoy Christmas time because even once a year we have time to eat together and share laughter.

So I say that the true essence of Christmas cannot be found on the materials they give us for the true essence of Christmas is sharing and showing your love to your neighbors.
