The Spirit that Inspires You
December 22, 2010- TCS # 229
So, My Readers, let me ask you a Question? What does Christmas mean to you and Why do you think we have it? Is it about Presents and Santa Claus? Maybe. Is it about the Birth of Jesus Christ? I say, absolutely! but, that’s yours to decide. You See, that big question, “What is the meaning of Christmas and Why we have it?” is in many ways, A hard question to answer. The truth is, we sometimes forget the meaning of Christmas because of our busy lives and trying to get shopping done by Christmas Day. So, what is the meaning? Well, it has many meanings to different people. For Kids, it means Santa Claus is coming to Town and they have to be on their best behavior because as we’ve heard before, He’s Watching. For Adults it’s more about shopping for presents and, the stress of making enough money for it. and, for some, funny enough, the stress of finding a Parking Spot. But, In My View, in a way, it’s about Presents but, it’s more about Santa Claus‘ Spirit of Giving, hence the reason we believe in him. Also and Majorly, It’s about Jesus Christ’s Birth because without him there wouldn’t be a Christmas. In Fact, Christmas‘ technical name is Christ’s Mass, only they shortened it with erasing the extra S off Christ and the S of Mass. But, here’s the thing, there’s one thing missing in the meaning of Christmas, Family. Now, the reason behind that one thing missing, is that in a Cold and Below Freezing Winter, Christmas is the only day by which you are Warm, and I don’t mean “Warm” like the heating on the A/C. I mean feeling the warmth of being with, near, or just knowing You are in the hearts of Your Family. When Baby Jesus was born, He was loved by his parents and those who came to see him from afar and Every Year we celebrate his Birthday with Love and Family. If you want to know how warm I am during Christmas, I’m Extra Warm, because I have my 3 Families; My Immediate, The Smith Family, and PTLS Family. All in all here, Christmas is about Love, Family’s Warmth, and Giving.
