Christmas in September?

We cannot deny this annual tradition among us. Christmas is the joyous season of the year.

By tradition, Christians celebrate Christmas in December. Their houses are well-decorated with colorful Yuletide decors, toys, lights, and gifts. Christmas songs filled the air. Children and adults sing traditional carols like Silent Night, Jingle Bells, among others.

This is the common scenario I may see or experience during December. Children in school have their Christmas party, gift-giving (exchanging gifts), Christmas tableau. Adults have their own separate party. They have it with lots of drinks, singing, and merry-making.

Midnight mass culminates the Christmas celebration. People in all walks of life go to the Church and stay in the Church until midnight. They wait until the Christmas eve. They go home after greeting each other. At home, they eat the food they prepared for their "Media Noche".

How Christmas Would Lead to World Peace

It is very untiring and even deafening to always hearing this Biblical phrase "on earth peace, good will toward men..." (Luke 2:14, KJV) The people are always longing for peace since time immemorial. But peace is elusive but hope keeps on hoping to never fail. Christmas is there to remind us every December, every year. Even everyone would like to have Christmas everyday.

JOYOUS CHRISTMAS SEASON

"When Christmas comes, there is always joy in our hearts. There is joy when we give something small for it has big impact to the receiver. There is joy in our emotion and on the way we feel after helping those in need." This a portion of my humble message during our Coronation of Mr. & Ms. Yuletide 2014 of our school, Balabag Elem. School.

PERFECT GIFT for CHRISTMAS

Christmas is a season of the year that simply reminding us the perfect gift which our Heavenly Father has given to all mankind, kindred, tongues and nations. That is through Jesus Christ, our Father in heaven unfeigned love is perfectly shown for everyone of us sinners. With Jesus we would be redeemed from our sins.

By Giving We're Blessed

Nativity in La Carlota City 2015

Our Heavenly Father has manifested His unfeigned love to us by sending His only son, Jesus through a demure, pure lady, Mary who gave birth on December 25  as being celebrated by Christian world.

The prophecy of the ancient has been fulfilled about the Child is born, the Son is given. That is the greatest gift of our Heavenly Father has given us, believers and non-believers.

What Should I Give This Christmas?

Gift-giving is what Christmas known to everybody. Christmas is Christ. The greatest gift our Father in Heaven has offered to mankind is his Son as to fulfill what has been prophesied in Bible. "For unto us a Son is born. Unto us a Son is given."

Nativity (Kid's version)

Christmas is for children. Not only that. Christmas is also for adult. Adults also long to receive a gift, a special gift to make them feel being loved, being taken care of. Christmas is for everyone. "Peace on earth. Goodwill toward men."

As I celebrate this year's Christmas, I am thinking on what to give. Either foods? Toys? Dresses? Candies? Pair of shoes? I want to get some suggestions from the person available at home. I want to ask from my grandchildren on what is best gifts for Christmas.

The Greatest Gift I Give to my Parents

Christmas is just around the corner. I already hear Christmas songs over the radio especially early in the morning. Everyone at home is so excited for they're expecting a party, exchange gifts or gift-giving may be held.

Kids are so happy in this month of December. They're expecting to receiving gifts from their parents, from their godparents.

To borrow a line from the song popularized by the late world-known singer, Michael Jackson, which says "people making lists/ buying special gifts", the people all over the world are beginning to do this.

Thus, they're making a long lists of things to buy for their Christmas presents to be given to their loved ones, relatives, friends, and business associates and clients.
