Christmas is an annual religious and cultural festival celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ that is celebrated by billions of people throughout the world on December 25th. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many countries, and it is observed religiously by the majority of Christians as well as culturally by many non-Christians. It is also an important element of the holiday season. Nowadays, we are far more concerned with the decorations, presents, and Christmas Eve celebrations than with remembering the birth of Jesus Christ. It was never about the presents you'd give or get; rather, it was about the sense of family and community you'd feel. The birth of Christ is commemorated at Christmas. This is a moment for us to reflect on and understand Jesus' messages. Jesus introduced a new religion based on love and the vision of a compassionate and forgiving God; a vision of approaching everything with a positive mindset and from a position of love. As a result, even if there is a pandemic, the actual meaning of Christmas may always be cherished.
The pandemic may have caused
many problems or tragedies, but it should not deter us from spreading
compassion and forgiveness around the world during this holiday. Let us
always remember that no matter how many difficulties we endure in life, our
faith in God will never waver. During this season, being thankful, forgiving,
and being loving must be in each other's spirit so that we may continue to prioritize
morality and virtue as a means of truly appreciating the essence of Christmas.
