It's Christmas time of the year

Christmas.
The word that i often get excited to.
The word that I mention often accompanied by words like 'I can't wait for this festival'.
The word that reminds me of the pretty and happy things.
The prettiest festival ever.

But is it just a festival?
Festival is defined as "An occasion for feasting or celebration, especially a day or time of religious significance that recurs at regular intervals."
Celebration? Yes. The birth of Jesus Christ.
A time in remembrance of the greatest gift we are given.
A time that we exchange gifts among our love ones not because of mere culture but,
a time where we practice showing love to our loved ones just like how our Father in heaven did.
A time that we should ponder upon the great gift God given to us and not santa claus or elves.

It's been almost a year and 2011 is coming to an end.
If you ask me? I would say it's not one of the best years. In other words, I don't like this year.
But God is good. He took away the things I love, the things i would like to hold on to,
BUT. He gave me someone, a very special someone to accompany me to go on with all these obstacles and hurdles; to help me grow in Him.

Happy Birthday Jesus.
Have a merry blessed Christmas everyone.
