Essence of Christmas

When the cold breeze starts to linger on someone’s skin and the night falls off slowly, then the Yuletide season is ready to kick off. Lights would take over every place, every alley, and ornaments perfect for the season would flood houses, establishments and malls. ATM’s would end up having a long line of people waiting to cash out. Scrumptious cuisine would be prepared on every table and the best wines with bottles covered with dust are ready for a toast.

The Yuletide season is a time for enjoyment. Everyone awaits for the 25th day of December to come. It is when family members bond with each other and give gifts to one another. It is when couples kiss under the mistletoe. Or, when friends sail along and have the best vacation of their lives. It is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ to most Catholics.

Material things are somewhat misinterpreted as the general meaning of the season. The true essence of Christmas revolves around love, peace, and sharing.
