True Essence of Christmas

The cool morning breeze and the busy streets decked with shinning lights in the evening.This indicate that Christmas is here once again.people send each cards and gifts to their families and friends.In homes and in streets,evergreen trees glitter with colorful lights and ornaments.Children look forward to see a jolly,white bearded man and a red suit named Santa Claus.Christmas is a christian holiday.It commemorates the birth of Christ.It is a social holiday.It is a festival of goodwill,a time for family,friends,food, and gift-giving.

But knowing the season means nothing unless we know the reason for this wonderful occasion.Christmas wouldn't be Christmas at all without sharing and giving.Indeed no less than God Himself demonstrated this when he was born in Bethlehem to pay the ransom for our sins.Forgiveness is one also the essence of this occasion wherein we forgive the sins of our friends and other persons.Even though it is very hard to forgive them,let us be nice and good because it is a Christmas season..
