The Meaning of Christmas


It is evident that Christmas is drawing near with all the shopping malls beautifully decorated.

While many are busy shopping and stocking up early Christmas presents, I was wondering how many of us actually fully understand the meaning of Christmas?

The meaning of Christmas has been commercialised and blurred.
Many thought Christmas is all about having fun, parties and a great Christmas dinner

Very often, people gathered at posh restaurants or anywhere else..tucked in 10 course Christmas dinner, do some silly countdowns, get drank and have a lousy hangover the next day.

So, exactly what is Christmas?

Christmas is a celebration for the birth of Jesus Christ.
It is a joyful occasion because it was out of Love that God gave the world His only Son, Jesus.
To be born in flesh, all pure and blameless to walk upon the earth 2009 years ago.

Has anyone remembered that Christmas is all about giving and loving just as He did?

Take a moment to ponder..
Be different..
Do something meaningful..
Show some love to the needy & poor..

Donate blood, give life..
Buy some groceries, deliver them to Old Folks Home
Call up some charity organisations, offer some help
Dont pretend to be asleep, offer your seat to that pregnant lady near the train door.

May all these will make your 2009 Christmas a more meaningful one ;)
