It's the most wonderful time of the year. The time of the year where everyone's happy, blessed and loved. It's the only time of the year where everyone will gather and be jolly. It's the time when God was born .
What is the true essence of Christmas? J. C Penney wrote, 'Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving.' Christmas is not all about merry making. We must also spare time to reflect on the essence of the period which is the love of God for humanity. Some may have planned to marry this year, to buy a new car or to move into their new apartment. We should count ourselves lucky to be alive to see this Christmas . An another year that's ending. This should be a period of gratitude to God for sparing our lives and counting us among the living . It should equally be an opportunity for us to mend our ways with God so that we will not be found wanting.
The true spirit behind Christmas is that of giving and sharing .
