I came out one night at the house with a jacket, can feel cold breeze in my skin.. Could see little children in front of houses, singing. As I continue walking I noticed bright colorful lights in every house. Some with a big stars and with big trees, all decorated with cute balls and different color of lights around! And yes! the Christmas is near! the Christmas is near!! (",)
Decorating your house, "Simbang Gabi", Noche Buena, giving or receiving gifts and even a store with full of people around... These are some normal things that happen on or before Christmas. Celebrating the Christmas is already a tradition for us Filipinos. We cook special foods and eat together and be happy together! This is why this day is the the day we've all been waiting for, most specially to the kids who always wait for their Santa Claus.. But for the past 15 years of celebrating Christmas, I realize and conclude one thing... Christmas is not about filling up your house decorated with lights and garland, Christmas trees and parols, the real essence of Christmas is the spirit of forgiving and forgetting, spirit of sharing, and the spirit of loving!!
So instead of waiting for a gift to come? Why don't we stand up.. buy something.. not for you, but giving it to someone! In that way.. We can realize what Christmas really is... Because Christmas Day..... Is the Day of Sharing, and the Day of Love!.. :)
