ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS
What Christmas means to me - or what it should mean.
Christmas is about love. Caring about another over yourself, spending the time to do the little things to make the holiday special for loved ones. Christmas is also about togetherness. Being with the people you love, laughing, sharing a meal, sharing happy memories. Christmas is about giving. Doing things for others. One of the most popular traditions on Christmas is exchanging gifts on Christmas eve or Christmas morning. Everyone loves receiving gifts on Christmas. But, as teenagers we understand the significance of giving more than receiving and plan way ahead to get something thoughtful for our near and dear ones.
The meaning of Christmas is what you make it. Using the time to be with each other, making Christ the centre of your Christmas celebrations and to give attention instead of presents is more important. Apart from being a celebration of Jesus Christ, Christmas is a time of peace and love. Christmas has not lost its meaning, we have lost it. The meaning is still there for those who seek it.
