What is your concept of Christmas?

Christmas is the time when we celebrate the fact that the Son of God came to earth in the form of a child. After all of those years of waiting, it finally happened.

To me Christmas is what Christianity all about. It's about the miracle of Christ. It about the love trust that Joseph had for Mary and the Love they had for God.

Christmas for me is that time of the year where everyone has to be nice to everyone no matter how they really feel about them. I don't know why but people seems to be friendlier and nicer than usual during Christmas. It is also that time of the year to be thankful and reflect on your year.

My Christmas!... Giving thanks to God for His gifts to us that he gave long, long before. We usually hear mass on this day together. It's hubby's reunion day with relatives in his birthplace. We go there, a vacation from work to give time to share and enjoy the holiday with family and friends. Kids longed for this day to happen. So I don't let them down, I wrapped gifts, give it to them on Christmas day. Eating dinner together as family on the night. Fun-fun-fun! Sleepness night on Christmas eve! We paint the night red! A really enjoyable day to long for! I think children growing to see how their family is being oriented positively will have good impact on their well being. They will value the pleasant atmosphere of what they see. They will mold to be a good citizen in the long run. It really all be started in a family!

My view of Christmas is JUST A SPECIAL OCCASION for my family and relatives. This is the only time we reunite altogether and have more fun! Since the majority of us in the family are having "own" livings now, we seldom completed ourselves during the occasion. :/ But! We still enjoy the season even without the others. :)

To me, Christmas means holiday ^^ I like all kinds of celebrations because I get to rest and have fun for a while. Christmas itself is a good celebration and I hope it will go on and on. Such celebrations bring people together and of course gives our children a happier and memorable childhood. So as to say, it contributes to the overall good development of a person. However, we should always remember that the main guy in Christmas celebration is Jesus and not Santa Claus XD
