What makes my Christmas perfect…???
ReplyDelete"Its awesome to see a big tree inside our house, gifts underneath it, candy rappers scattered around, delicious food above the table, and the cold air of Christmas season"...
December 25 is not an ordinary day but it is an extraordinary day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. In this day we celebrate his goodness all year through and we offer gifts for thanksgiving and praises for his mighty works here on earth. Christians in the Philippines would proclaim that their Christmas celebration is the longest and merriest in the world. It begins formally on December 16 with attendance at the first of nine pre-dawn or early morning masses and continues on nonstop until the first Sunday of January, Feast of the Three Kings, the official end of the season, which they call it as Simbang Gabi.
Many families gather together with brilliant Christmas decors all around their houses, there house may be small or big, with food or without, with Christmas tree or none, it doesn’t matter as long as they could celebrate Christmas with joy in their hearts. Part of the tradition of the Filipino people as December 24th dawns, the last Mass of Simbang Gabi is attended; then preparation begins for Noche Buena, which is a family feast that takes place after midnight. Food is in abundance. Visitors and friends of the host family partake the food even though they are already bloated. Typical foods prepared in the Philippines during Christmas are: lechon (roasted pig), pancit, barbecue, rice, adobo, cakes, lumpia, etc.
For those who can afford to celebrate Christmas may really enjoy the spirit of the season, but what about the poor people without the spirit of Christmas? Some would disregard, and some would wait for Santa Claus. Nevertheless, Christmas is not just the time for celebration but a time for giving, helping those in need and also the time for love. In many ways and in many days, Christmas can be felt everyday, just through by sharing, helping and loving your neighbor Christmas may be felt through these acts. So certainly, Christmas may not only happen at December 25 but Christmas for me may happen everyday… that’s why in the Kingdom of the Father : "Christmas Happens Everyday"…
