Have a Blessed Christmas :)

People believe that Christmas is the perfect time and season for giving, as well as forgiving. But children believe that Christmas is the time when Santa Claus starts checking his list thrice and deliver awesome presents, and granting wishlists with the help of his famous red-nosed reindeer, Rudolf.

From the recent bird's eye view of Christmas based on everyone's various beliefs, we continue to forget the true value of Christmas. And no, it isn't about Christmas trees and mistletoes and Christmas socks. It is not about snowmen and Rudolf and Santa Claus either.

Christmas is a season of hope and joy, a time to give thanks for the blessing of Christ's birth and for the blessings that surround us every day of the year.

The importance of Christmas is Jesus Christ. He was born on Christmas day. Just as the song goes Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. We have to celebrate his birthday by forgiving those who made mistakes upon us. The reason why we have our complete family together on Christmas is to spend it together, and celebrate Christ's birth together.

Christmas is a time of happiness when everybody's here. It is the birthday of Jesus Christ.

The simple story of Christmas speaks to every generation and holds a sense of wonder and surprise. During this time of joy and peace, may we be surrounded by the love of family and friends and take time to reflect on the year ahead.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:14
