Love, Family, and God: The True Essence of Christmas



"'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la..." as the song goes. Every year, it is in our tradition to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25. Here in the Philippines, we have the longest Christmas season starting from September up to December. 

It is truly indeed the most wonderful time of the year where people only thinks about happiness. It is the season of giving. It's not the gift that we want to give but actually we want extend the warm greetings, our sincerest gratitude, and most important of all, we want to give love.

We cannot measure ones love by the their gifts, the price, and whatsoever. Back then I realized the true meaning of the saying, "It's better to give than to receive." Even though you don't have any money, gifts, or delicious food to eat at Christmas, as long as you have your family to accompany with and rejoice, I tell you, you have the best Christmas celebration ever.

Slowly the snow filters to the ground 
The air is filled with a glorious sound 
Caroler's singing their praises of Joy 
Of a New Found King in a baby Boy 
Baby in a manger swaddled with love 
God sent His Son from the Heaven's above 
He sent a King to Reign over us all 
The angels spreading this beautiful call 
I see them flying through the darkened night 
The North Star appears as a guiding light 
That star still shining brightly in our sky 
Still guiding us to where our souls should fly 
Worshiping the King in this baby sent 
To fulfill the prophecies he was meant 
to seize our souls and fill them with His love 
There is nothing greater than His Reign above 
We can only imagine this great scene 
Walking across those hills what did it mean? 
Sending a message for all man to hear 
Our glorious Lord He has now drawn near 
To this day we sing His praises on High 
To gather us all to His name we cry 
In honoring that day so long ago 
Love for the Lord in our hearts to show 
I can imagine the Joy that He must feel 
Pride in His people, to Him they reveal 
United in His Spirit on this Day 
His message Spread through a World wide way 
To me this is the true Christmas Essence 
The power of souls touched in His presence 
It's a festival for Christ that we throw 
In Honor of His Name our praise to show 
We don't worship the trees that we adorn 
We Worship the day that Our Christ was born 
The Bible says the Lord gets our Glory 
Praise the most treasured Day in History!
