Christmas Season...
I can feel the cold breeze on my bare skin. Soothing through my bones, feeling the chill of the wind. Seeing lights everywhere. Hearing songs pleasant to my ears. Christmas is in the air.
About nine days to go before Christmas day, yet we're still having classes, catching up for the experiments that were nor finished. Luckily, exams ended but there are still things to be done before I can call it a break.
What is Christmas? Is it all about giving gifts? Buying new clothes and stuffs? What is it really???
Well, as we all know, the thing that was instilled in our minds when we are still young is, it is the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. It is time for loving and for sharing, but can we not share and love in other times? Is it always be only in Christmas season? All I know is, from the beginning, my parents instilled in me that, it doesn't matter if you receive gifts or not during this time, what matters most is the reason why we are celebrating this so called Christmas... Yeah, it is the Birth of Christ... That's the main reason, we are accepting him, welcoming him...
I am really wondering about gifts, is it really necessary? Almost all people i see are cramming and looking for something to give, expensive gifts.... But it is always the thoughts that counts, not the price... as long as yo give from the heart... People in this world have a million wants, they can never be contented. But you can make people happy by doing something simple as long as yo are into it and you love what you are doing. But of course, it is really nice to receive gifts...

I really am just wondering what can I do to our least fortunate brothers and sisters who can never experience what we are experiencing during Christmas. Not receiving gifts nor sharing food for the noche buena. The children in the orphanage and the oldies in the home for the aged. How do they spend their Christmas? Is there anybody from their family that visits them? Now, I truly realized how blessed and lucky i am that i am not like them, that I have my family to share my Christmas, I have my friends too.
I know, I can do something, I'm used to give children in our neighborhood food during Christmas or New year. It's the tradition of our family to share whatever blessings we had for the year. But i really want to do more.=)
I want to end this first post, because my eyes are too tired to open, need to attend mass tomorrow morning... Have a happy Christmas and a prosperous new year to everyone!!!=)
