Private: Celebrating the true

One of  the thing in life that brings joy, vitality, happiness, forgetting sorrows or problems can be considered festal occasion. It is that moment of peace and unity when people really live their lives. Such a celebration is Christmas, a very desired moment for humanity, actually for Christian humanity. mensajes cristianos or bible teaching, proclaim that Christmas is about something that people around us seem to forget: the birth of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of the world. This celebration is not about us, about our pleasure and desire, but it is about giving glory to Jesus who came to saved our planet from sin.
And yet, there is a strong tendency nowadays to point to something else during Christmas. One can see the cities putting lights and banners and beautiful ornaments earlier and earlier. Christmas moments are strongly associated with reindeer, lights, Santa coming with presence, carols and the famous Christmas tree nicely decorated with expensive ornaments.
It will unfair to say that  there’s no hope left, because there is hope! People can change their perspective and wrong habits, they can turn to the real celebration of Christmas. The one in which Jesus is at the centre of our discussions, songs, thoughts and acts. That will truly make a different year for us! Maybe the solution, in order to make things easier, is to give some Christian clues:

1. See Christmas as a chance for to give, to help the homeless. This can be a financial gift to a humanitarian organization. Or you can be part of the Samaritan Purse project, a project that motivates people to make a present for the poor with all sorts of things: toys, blankets, socks, dolls, things for school etc. I thing that you heart will flourish by the act of giving, helping people.
2. If reading the Bible, especially in Luke, the first chapter, one can discover that the essence of Christmas is the idea of giving. So you may also give in different forms: write letters or card of encouragements for friends or family or card presenting Christmas events, the humble birth of Jesus and the impact that it should have in our lives.

Thus, the return of the biblical perspective on celebrating Christmas is actually a return to the right principles, a return to the true that can change humans’ lives.
