Essence of Christmas

Christmas? Why do we need to celebrate Christmas? What does Christmas symbolizes to you?

Christmas is a Christian feast. Christmas is about love. Caring about another over yourself, spending the time to do the little things to make the holiday special for loved ones. As a mother, it give me great joy to see my children and their happiness as they open presents on Christmas morning. I also enjoy watching other friends and family open a gift that I shopped for and seeing that they truly like it. 

Christmas is also about togetherness. Being with the people you love, laughing, sharing a meal, sharing happy memories. 

Christmas is about giving. Doing things for others - collecting food for the needy, helping with toy distributions to needy children. Remembering those less fortunate.
