We
Filipinos are known for being hospitable, especially during occasions, that we
can sacrifice ourselves only for our visitors. We can also have the characteristic
of being generous.
In our country, almost every month of
the year, we are celebrating different occasions. But in the end, we have the awaited
event which is Christmas-- an annual commemoration of the
birth of Jesus
Christ and a widely observed holiday, celebrated generally on December 25 by millions of people around the world.
This longest celebration we have is almost
one month to celebrate. It is also the happiest event of the year. Because even
the first day of advent, you can already feel the essence of it. Passing on
different houses we can already see different Christmas decorations; joyful Christmas
songs, lanterns hanging on the trees, Christmas lights that brightens the dark
night, Santa climbing on houses, Manger on the gardens and different kinds of colorful Christmas trees. We can now already observe some carolers roaming around from house-to-house.
Due to the essence of Christmas, our problems will temporarily vanish away.
This is also the season when every member of the house is in one place having
their family bonding.
This is only a month to celebrate but let
us always remember that doing good things is not only for that month instead throughout
the year. Christmas is not only giving/sharing or receiving material things but
let us not forget that the true meaning of it is to give love, forgive and ask
for forgiveness.
