Its Christmas!!!!

Yeay!! Everybody loves Christmas..hohoho..well for me Christmas this year is very much different from the rest of the years previously.. I was always excited and eager plus anxious about this awesome celebration. All along Christmas was all about presents, Santa, dresses, Christmas tree, new shoes, Christmas cookies, good comfort food, family gatherings (of course), snow flakes, drinks, friends, caroling and many many other things that always makes me super excited, especially when giving out presents and surprises to family and friends.

This was how my Christmas all along the 22+ years of my life. So what about you? What is the first thing that comes into mind when Christmas is mentioned? Do you know what is the real meaning of Christmas celebration? Have you ever thought of why we have such a joyful celebration that is celebrated world-widely every December on a particular date?

Well friends, for me it is totally not wrong to think of Christmas that way, however this year is indeed a lucky year for me. At the 23rd year of my life I finally understood the real meaning of Christmas and why we should celebrate like mad..

Everybody knows its the birth date of our Savior Jesus Christ, the only son of our God. Well I know that very well too because that's what they taught you in Sunday Schools. Its true, but do you really understood the meaning of His birth? Why do we have to celebrate His birth? We celebrate our birth anniversary, but not as grand as His..So why is it that we do? This is what I have learned in this year's Christmas and I am so thankful for that.

Jesus's birth to our world is not just a normal birth. He came to the world in flesh in order to save us, humans who have sinned so much. But our father loves us that he decided to send Jesus (its Him whom He called His only Son), to redeem and die for our sake in order to wash away all our sins. So welcoming Him to our world by celebrating it is a must, to show our utmost gratitude to our Father for what He has done for us.
I never really think of it that way. I don't really get the whole story until this Christmas. Its all thank to my church ministry that I joined in in October recently. Its a great experience. I really wanted to join a ministry ever since, but because of my constant moving around places for studies and work, its almost impossible.

This year is more meaningful than the rest for me because of this. I was really feeling the joy of His birth. I really hope that next year would be the same. That I will be reminded of the reason of His birth.

So again, what about you? What do you think about Christmas? What is the true meaning behind it?
I wanna take this opportunity to wish all of you a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Looks like the rumor about the end of the world is another hoax!Well, only the Father knows when..no body else will know, so lets just wait for Jesus second coming and just be ready for Him..

Cheers!!
