Days are so fast that I haven't realized it's already advent, days from now and it's already Christmas. Everyone is so busy, and they're already buying gifts for their family and special someones. The mall is crowded and the traffic is heavy. It's the season to be jolly and to be holy.
You see, CHRISTMAS is very much awaited, almost everybody is looking forward for this day to arrive, especially when you're a FILIPINO, they say that "walang tatalo sa pasko ng 'Pinas" because we filipinos are very traditional and loving, very thoughtful too. We value the gift of family and friends, we value almost everything. But sometimes we tend to forgot the real essence of Christmas, what are we celebrating it for?
CHRISTMAS without CHRIST is just mas--moment of sadness. We tend to feel sad and lonely. Sometimes, we don't even remember that it is the birth of Christ, we are just looking for something that can feed our eyes and earthly wants, we tend to forget our soul and the very essence of the celebration. We forgot that it's not only a time of giving and receiving, it is also a time of forgiveness and peace.
So this Christmas, let us not only feed our body, let us feed our soul, let us celebrate it wholeheartedly, without feeling empty and let's love each other!
