Christmas is, the best time of the year, and everyone seems to make the most of the festival season. Have you delved into the Spirit of Christmas yet? With the year coming to an end, people look forward to the New Year with new hopes and aspirations. Kids are the most excited at Christmas as they are fascinated by the beautiful Xmas celebrations, the Xmas trees, the Christmas presents, and ‘Santa Claus’.
It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the Air, as said by W.T.Ellis.
Therefore, this is the perfect time to get into the real spirit of the holy day. It’s time to celebrate the birth of Jesus as a baby in ‘Bethlehem’. There’s a need to remember the Christ who attained ‘atonement’ to seek forgiveness for the entire humanity. It’s time to thank him, be grateful for his deeds. There’s a magical power about prayer, and this is the perfect time to offer your prayers to the Almighty. His blessings are unbiased and abundant.
Connect to the Roots of Christmas
Of course, the gifts and pies and Xmas parties are all great ways to celebrate and give a great rejuvenation. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to connect to the roots and be mindful of the real meaning of ‘Christmas.’ Giving as much time to your family, teaching them the religious virtue of ‘Christmas’ to kids will only help them grow into valued individuals. Narrate to them the miraculous tales of the birth of ‘Jesus Christ,’ the son of God and the theology of incarnation. Your family will cherish it forever.
Compassion has to be your Goal
Light up the Christmas tree & your home to symbolize the power of light over dark. To make your hearts glow with compassion, forgiveness, generosity for the society. Help the underprivileged, and you will be at ease with many of your problems. Reflect upon your true happiness in this holy time and give the gift of love to people close to you.
Singing the carols, going for midnight Christmas mass, visiting the church are family traditions going on for years. They keep the real spirit of Christmas alive. Remember, the mark of a Christian is a giving spirit.
Apart from that, engage in whatever makes you happy. Gift your children your time more than the gifts they crave. Let your parents know how grateful you are to have them. Make family dinners together; watch great movies, and make a good time of this Holiday Season.
