I “hate” Christmas
I have a confession to make: I am actually beginning to hate Christmas.
Christmases these days seem to dwell more on the everything else—the carols, decorations, media production, the gifts, the shopping, or even the ‘spirit’ of Christmas—and leave out the main essence of the season.
Or am I hating it because I’m not a child anymore — they say Christmas is for kids.
Nonetheless, behind this candid admission, I’m still hoping that the “superstar” of Christmas would grab our attention — my attention — in the midst of holiday distractions.
May Jesus take the center stage. Remember how important Christmas is, in its real essence: there would have been no EASTER if there was no CHRISTMAS.
So how’s your Christmas holidays?
Like what I posted on my blog, I am still greatful that Jesus is remembered in the Philippines during Christmas unlike in the US and other western countries where a blatant campaign to rid Jesus off the holiday takes place. Its an annual warfare to secularize Christmas.
