Hey, It’s December

Hey, it’s December! But why the Spirit of Christmas is not yet seen nor felt?

It’s already the fourth day of December and I can’t feel the Spirit of Christmas yet. Yes, it’s true; I really cannot sense the presence of Christmas in my life. Maybe because I haven’t touring the City for a while or maybe because the Christmas decoration is very minimal and I haven’t heard a Christmas song played in the background. Well, is it really the reason why I can’t sense Christmas?

Does the Spirit of Christmas can only be seen by my naked eyes or can be heard by my ears? While writing this, I realized that the Spirit of Christmas is not based on what can be seen or what can be heard. But its presence can be felt only through our hearts.

So if it is based on my heart, is my heart in the mood for Christmas? Do I really know the true meaning of Christmas? I guess I have lost the real meaning as I am busy finding Christmas decorations in the streets and finding new Christmas songs. I think I have forgotten the real importance of Christmas.

So, while writing this, I want to ask myself again. What is really the meaning of Christmas for me? I know that Christmas is not about the decorations, the songs nor the giving of gifts to other people. So, what is it really about? Suddenly, I have remembered that Christmas is really about Christ which is from the word itself, so it all about Jesus Christ. We have Christmas because we want to remember His birth here on earth; on how He came here to save me, to save us from the eternal death. I should remember that Jesus birth in the manger is the reason why I can live freely right now.

“So, If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36

The real meaning of Christmas is Jesus and we can only feel the Spirit of Christmas once we accepted Jesus in our lives. Without Jesus in our lives, there is no point of celebrating Christmas. For how can we celebrate something we don’t believe? So I guess let’s take a look upon our hearts today, do we really celebrate it because we know the One who cause it? Or do we just celebrate it because almost everyone is celebrating it? Or are we really joining the festivities because this is the theme of everything that we see or hear?

So, I hope that we won’t be deceived by the commercialization of Christmas nowadays, for its real meaning is not about the decorations nor the songs but it can be found on its word, Christ. CHRISTmas is all about Jesus Christ. May we always remember this everyday of this December.

I hope that you won’t be like me that I forgot and swayed by the commercialization of Christmas. I became busy finding things related to Christmas that I forgot Jesus Christ, my Savior. And since this article is a reminder for me, I hope that I will be able to feel Christmas every day because I know that Christmas is all about Jesus. So,  Have a Merry CHRISTmas everyone! :)
