Today being the 25th day of the month of December is one that is basically a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus, as Christians it is not just about cooking foods like Jello rice and fried rice to celebrate the occasion but it is more than that because Christmas is all about love, hope and giving. For me as a Catholic we had started our Christmas celebration on the eve of Christmas which is the 24th by attending a vigil mass, which is an important celebration before the 25th.
Christmas is a beautiful thing and by celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ it also represents the fact that God loves us as his children and has promised us his salvation. In celebrating Christmas it has both a religious and cultural aspect to it. While the religious aspect is about going to church and appreciate in God for the birth of Christ, the cultural aspect has to do with the bond is brings with families and friends spending times together as loved ones during this festive period. It brings a feeling of togetherness amongst people because at this time people are supposed to relieve themselves of stress anger malice and so on and just spread love and happiness all around.
Another beautiful side to Christmas is the fact that it allows people to show gratitude for the entirety of the year, in essence, people tend to appreciate life in general, the blessings and achievements they have accrued over the year. Again it is a time to show kindness and gratitude by giving gifts and helping others what you have and however you can. This is why during this period they are lots of gifts going around from people who appreciate their friends families neighbors or anyone that has inspired them or motivated them in one way or the other.
Today's Christmas and I wish you all a very Mary Happy Christmas and hope that all your wishes and aspirations come to pass . I need to get ready for morning mass because it is important to start the day with christ .
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY HIVE FAMILY
