The Spirit of Christmas

Of course with Christmas there is always the thing called “The Spirit of Christmas”, something that makes Christmas, Christmas. Everyone has their own idea of such topic, mostly are: Sharing, giving, caring, hope and LOVE. It is a day for families to come together, sharing home cooked meals and chatting at the dinner table; which is, yeah really what Christmas is about. It is also about the birth of our Savior. Him coming here to relieve us of our sins, as a symbol of God showing how much He love us.

We all have our point of views of what Christmas is about, for me it is about being with the people you really care about whether you are related by blood or not. Together sharing laughter, stories, giving gifts, the joy on their faces is the most precious moments for me. A somewhat contagious feeling if you think about it.

Receiving gifts from them is like saying “Hey I remembered you. I cared enough to go out and took the time to make or buy you something because you are special to me”. Because material gifts are a symbol of caring not just shallow superficial things like some people may see it, at least if you look at it that way.

With all the commotion in our family we find a way around it in a way that we still have time for each other, spending Christmas with together. Making plans to make everyone happy and not feel alone on Christmas. For Christmas is the time to be together.
