Twenty days to go before Christmas. Yes I am excited. I may be once again away from my parents and brothers but Christmas will always be a special event to me as a Christian. But honestly speaking, the commercial factor of Christmas helps to make the season more thrilling. Gift giving, the lights, the Christmas trees, the Christmas carols add to the excitement of the season. I am excited as our boss already informed us yesterday that we can have exchange gift here in the office which they normally do not allow, as not everyone in the office is a Christian, not everyone in the office is a Filipino and not every one believes in Christmas. There will be no fireworks on the eve of Christmas but there will be a simple celebration. We will feast with dishes we crave for a long time. We will have a videoke session which for sure will end up with dancing session. And as this is a day to celebrate, of course drinks will never be taken for granted. I maybe longing for my family but I know the longing amongst my colleagues who are mothers and fathers are terrible. Who would want to be away from their sons and daughters, from their spouses, from their siblings, from their parents on Christmas day? Everyone has a dream and mission to fulfill. Being away from our love ones is the heaviest sacrifice we encounter to fulfill this dream.
How I wish in the near future, lesser families need to be separated by poverty. How I wish in the near future, lesser families need to be separated by war.
Advance Merry Christmas and may we all realize the meaning of Christmas. GOD the FATHER sent his beloved his JESUS on Christmas to ensure that humankind will be saved.
Christmas is a perfect example of LOVE.
