Let Christmas fill our hearts with love, joy, and peace
Too soon Christmas has returned, and the excitement it brings is building as many people have already begun celebrating and making frantic preparations for the day.
To put it briefly, Christians worldwide celebrate Christmas on December 25 to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, the divine son.
In the lead-up to the Day, churches and schools have been hosting special carol services, bringing religious celebration and the pleasure of the season into the air.
In addition to other fun activities, there are a variety of decorations with shimmering lights at roundabouts, in front of stores, on Christmas trees in homes, and gift-giving.
The warmth and love that Christmas provides to families and everyone else when loved ones join together to share joyful moments makes it a unique season.
Giving, sharing, and spreading love are the genuine essence of the Christmas season. It is a moment to consider the birth of Jesus Christ and the virtues he personified, like as kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.
The basic pleasures of spending time with loved ones, eating meals together, and giving thanks for the blessings in our lives should take precedence over the décor.
Remember those who are less fortunate and those experiencing medical emergencies during this time as you enjoy Christmas with your family.
Let us also prioritise giving to those in need, or just saying or doing something nice to someone who is having a hard time.
It is crucial that believers never lose sight of the actual purpose of Christmas. The significance of the day should not be diminished in any way by sharing the celebration with others.
We can make this Christmas genuinely special for both ourselves and other people if we embrace the giving and sharing attitude.
The Spectator wishes its cherished readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance.
