Spirit of Christmas

Love came down at Christmas; Love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas, Stars and angels gave the sign.
What is the meaning of Christmas? One of the most popular holy days on the Christian calendar, Christmas honors the birth of Jesus, and is observed by most Christian churches. Christmas can be a season of great joy. It is a time of God showing His great love for us. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. You see, Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child.
Christmas is a very special and important occasion to us Filipino. We are celebrating this Christmas every December 25. Many Filipinos are preparing for the Christmas decorations as early as they want. They start it as the "Ber" months started.The common decorations are Christmas tree, Christmas lights, Christmas balls etc. They decorate this kind of decorations for them to feel the spirit of Christmas. As the December started many children are starting to sing a song, so called Caroling. It is a group of children singing together.With the traditional chant of "Namamasko po!" these carolers wait expectantly for the homeowners to reward them with coins. Afterward, the carolers thank the generous homeowners by singing "Thank you, thank you, ang babait ninyo, thank you!"
The best way to celebrate Christmas is to experience it in the best possible way. Make sure you have a hearty meal laid out for yourself and your family. Christmas is all about celebrating and doing it the right possible way. Do make it a point to spend a lot of time with your family and ensure that you have an extremely fun time. Do take a break from work and indulge in the long drawn out period of festivity. This is the time when you unwind and make sure you do things differently than what you experience usually.
