When we talk about Christmas, we always think about the happiness of everybody, but for me, aside from that happiness what Christmas could bring to us, it is also about love. It is caring about another over ourselves, spending the time to do the little things to make holiday special not only for family but also for our special someone. Christmas is not only about the presents we buy or meals we eat, it is not only about standing in line ups at stores or handing over a gift we feel obliged to give, but the real thing is that it is about love and living the best ways we can.
Everyone of us wants Christmas to be meaningful, because our savior Jesus Christ was born and He is the reason why we are celebrating Christmas every year. It is generally believed that he was born on that fateful day, December 25. This Christmas we share food, gifts or other things that can bring joy and happiness to others, especially to those we love. God loves us so much and He showed it by presenting to us His beloved son, and for that, we have a great responsibility to show also love to others especially this Christmas. If personal faith plays a major role in family's life, our observances of Jesus's birthday will reflect our own beliefs in life, but all too often, we see people drifting away from celebrating Christmas for some of them do not exactly and definitely know what Christmas really means. There is also frequently more interest in exchanging gifts than in sharing the good news and the true essence of this very special day, Christmas.
Christmas is the liveliest time of the year, especially when we are having parties, give and exchange gifts and have a family or group reunion. It's also the most expensive season of each year because of the money we spend on different decorations that we decorate in our homes and buying gifts an foods and share them to others. We celebrate this season, Christmas to express our gratitude to God for fulfilling His promise that He made through. The love of mankind is God's reason for sending His only begotten son to us. So, to show that we really have respect to Him, we should also respect other people not only for our own good, but for the good of everyone, and we should love them like we do love ourselves because love is the best way to show our kindness to others.
