Cherish Christmas Even wearing Face Mask


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.

 


Everyone may enjoy Christmas during the epidemic since it is all about self-reflection, love, and forgiveness for one another. Preparing for Christmas does not have to be extravagant since its essential core is our recognition of Christ's birth and our openness to him. We may stay at home with the entire family and learn to forgive one other's faults and trespasses. The government, on the other hand, has reduced the regulations to allow you to attend church with your family or anybody you know. It may be tough to create a traditional Christmas party, especially in the midst of a pandemic, but what matters is that you embrace the Lord Christ in your heart and spend your time forgiving, being thankful, and joyous. Because of everything we have been through, it might be difficult to enjoy Christmas as joyfully as it used to be, but the real willingness to embrace the Christmas spirit must always remain in our hearts, regardless of the circumstances that we are going through.

 

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.
