What Christmas Means To Me

       Christmas is a very special occasion wherein it is being celebrated all around the world, it occurs only once in each year. During Christmas, some countries like United States experienced
winter season this time. Some Filipinos called it "White Christmas".

Christmas has a lot of meanings but for me, it is the time for giving and forgiving.
       Christmas is the time for giving because it is one way of
helping the people who are in need or by thanking people in return. Giving gifts is also a way of extending help to the needy and by sharing the blessings that our God showered to us this fruitful year. You can also give some gifts or money to the people singing Christmas carols outside your house. Any amount matters to them. No matter how big or small it is, the most important thing is
that, you help them in either small or big ways. Then, Christmas is also the time of forgiving the people who hurt your feelings in the past. It is important to forgive them just what God done to us. No matter how big or small our burden is, God saved us from our sins at the cross. So, we are obliged to forgive others as God forgave us. And another thing, even though how kind you are all those years, but you don't forgive others, you're still having a big sin against God.

       For me, Christmas must be spent together with your family. No
matter how rich you are but you're alone, you still don't realize the true essence or spirit of Christmas. During Christmas, giving is better than receiving. And forgiving is the basic and important thing to do.
