Season to be Jolly
Almost ordinarily, when a special someone celebrates a birthday, what we do
to well-wish that person, offer a present or celebrate the occasion with revelry and fanfare for it to be remembered by the celebrant as a momentous event of his or her life. Not that it is wrong, it is not right to do it on Christmas. God does not want us to celebrate it that way. Christmas is not how you remember it but rather how you live it. It is not about dates. It is about "dating" it.
Christmas has come around once more. It is a season of merry-making and rejoicing – “a celebration of all celebrations” of sorts to commemorate the birth of the most important person in history. But Christmas is not just about the birthday of God's son and that's not also the reason why we celebrate and honor Christmas better than our birthday or any important anniversary in the family. If God really wanted us to celebrate it that way, God would have schemed Jesus' birth in the same fashion we celebrate it today. But He chose a simpler way to do things because He wanted us to celebrate the "essence" not the event.
Every person has his own priorities, his own wants and needs. Some people may choose material things, while others may prefer tangible ones such as love, peace, prosperity and good health among others. No matter what these people wish for these holiday season, what matters most is that the desires of their hearts are granted as long as nobody is hurt, right?
Whichever of these are important to you this holiday season, just remember that it’s the thought that counts and that love is the most important thing in the world. When love governs our hearts and minds, everything will follow and we don’t need to wait for Christmas time to share our love to other people.
