#ChristmasIsForever

“Christmas waves a wand over the world, and behold everything is softer and more beautiful.”

I see with my little eyes the world covered with joy as December arrives. The Christmas breeze of that brushes my skin. Music to my ears of people goes caroling. And the joy of sharing gifts to one another. But what is the true essence of Christmas?

I have always thought of Santa Claus, on a sled with his reindeer, up in the sky and down to our chimney and showers gift to everyone. But as I get older, I realize that my wild imagination of Christmas was wrong, totally wrong. I learned that Christmas is not all about how many gifts you received or even Santa Claus. But the true meaning and essence of it is how you give a gift voluntarily, the one with sincere thought that comes from your heart. Love is a very powerful and important ingredient you can share to your love ones, it is the most precious gift you can give to someone or to your family. Love is one of those ingredients in finding the rue essence of Christmas. On the other hand, the presence of family is also an ingredient. As one said, the gift of all gifts around the Christmas tree is the presence of the family wrapped up in each other. And that’s the true essence of Christmas for me.

And the last is the care and respect and forgiveness for our dear Christ and importance to the birth of Jesus Christ.  I also believe in forever. And that forever is Christmas. Christmas for me is forever and not just one day because I know that Jesus Christ is within us every day and forever.                                               
And that’s how I opened my mind and heart in reality in the essence of Christmas.
