What Christmas Means to Me.

--This is actually the video that we made last year that won first place in the Nationals.I was the director of our group.We hope you'll enjoy.--

           
The sky is filled with stars.The streets are full of people on the go while they hustle and bustle shopping.In the western part of the world,people are praying to snow but here in the Philippines,even if we don’t experienced one we know it’s Christmas cause it’s called outside but our hearts feel the warmth of the season.Finally,the month people always anticipate to come is here.
Christmas, everyone's favorite time of the year. I don't know about you, but Christmas is the day I waited for every year as a kid. No other day was more important to me than Christmas was.
          It’s Christmas in this tropical country and the streets are filled with decorations.Trees and houses are being ornamented and angels are place all around it so people who passes by can feel the spirit of Christmas.
          Everyone is usually happy with smiles all around.People greet each other cheerfully and it’s such a joyous sound.My mom bakes cookies and other treat while I make some holiday cards and send it to my dear friends.Yes,it can be busy and hectic but I really hope it will never end.
          Children are filled with anticipation wondering what gifts they might get while parents hide these treasure packages so the children won’t see them yet.During Christmas eve,these little adorable kids think it’s Santa who sneeks in but the mystery that was never told to them is it’s just their parents giving them what they deserve.
          Many parties are held where people get together for fun.They talk about how exhausted they’ll be once the season is done.People go off their diets and eat much more than they should.It’s difficult to pass up the food because all of it looks appetizing and delicious.
Who wouldn’t remember carolers roaming around singing wonderful songs that are a joy to hear.Though sometimes some are off tune,you’ll still give them a peso or more because Christmas is a time of giving and sharing.
Every family are joined with happiness reuniting and celebrating this joyous occasion together. Christmas at our house means nothing, if the whole family isn't there. Every year all the close relatives that can make come over and stay at our house and have Christmas with us. The memories wouldn't be the same if none of them were there.
Do you know why we celebrate such occasion and spend much money once in a year?
          The special day known as Christmas is the anniversary of Jesus’ birth.It’s a day that is held most holy all around the earth.He gave us His son because he loves us so much.
However most of us tend to forget the meaning of Christmas.It’s even sad to know that children can only remember Santa when we talk about this special day and not Jesus.
We should remember the wonderful value that Jesus has taught us and that is to love and give things unconditionally.I wish crimes would be less because Christmas is all about peace and forgiveness. Christmas is a time of sharing and being with the ones you love. It's not about getting, it's about giving.
“Ding..Dong..Ding..Dong..”
The bells of the church is calling us not only to go to church but is knocking our hearts to remember the true essence of having Christmas As we gather in churches on Christmas,we should remember to thank God for sending his Son to redeem us and filling our hearts with love.Hopefully we will not only share the value of Christmas this month but we should always show it all year round.
