GIVE LOVE ON CHRISTMAS DAY “Whenever I see boys and girls selling lanterns on the streets, I remember the child on the manger as He sleeps. Whenever there are people giving gifts exchanging cards, I believe that Christmas is truly in our hearts,” a very captivating lyrics of one Christmas Song. Everytime I hear this song, I can’t explain the feelings I have deep inside my heart. It seems that my heart is full of joy because the first thing that strikes my mind is that Christmas is fast approaching. Yes! It’s true Christmas!—the day when our savior Jesus Christ was born. If we are already in the “BER months” we can already feel the cold breeze of the wind coming from the Northeastern part. Hanging Amihan is one of the signs of Christmas Season. “CHRISTMAS has various meanings for everyone. For us, Christians, it is the feast that commemorates the birthday of Jesus Christ, our savior. It is a time of giving and sharing as what the previous song manifest. It is a moment for families to have time for each member. If you will ask the meaning of Christmas to a little child, he would probably say that it is a time for Santa Claus to distribute gifts. If you will ask the meaning of Christmas to teenagers, they would probably answer that it is a time for outing, hanging out with peers. If you will ask a mother the meaning of Christmas she will probably answer that it is a time to spend her family. If you will ask the meaning of Christmas to a vendor, he will probably say that it is a time for selling products for Noche Buena. See, there are different interpretations of Christmas but the bottom line is CHRISTMAS is all about LOVE---for family, for peers and for everyone.
