Essence of Christmas

Christmas meaning is expressed differently by different people. For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow. They may not be financially stable and therefore may not have the extra money to buy presents for their children, family, and friends. Many are saddened at Christmastime when they think of their loved ones who will not be able to come home for various reasons. They may have lost their loved ones at this time of year. They may be alone and have no one in this world to keep them company not even in this special season. Others make it an occasion to spend more on unnecessary gifts or an excuse to drink and party more.The meaning of Christmas is what you make it. Using the time to be with each other, making Christ the center 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.It is about giving not receiving anything....it also is the day Jesus was born.
