Christ is the Reason!

Christmas, the time of the year where family comes first in celebrating. While many of us forget the fact what is the real reason why we are celebrating Christmas, but for us Filipinos that are Christians we do not forget the real purpose of it, it’s to remember the birth of the one and only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Noche Buena is a popular thing here in the Philippines where you and your families gather for a midnight dinner or celebration.

I celebrated my Christmas with my auntie and cousins in my mother’s side. We ordered chicken joy and spaghetti in Jollibee, then cooked some adobo, salad and cake. It was a simple night but a joyful one, it made me appreciate my family for all the effort they gave just to celebrate that day. Of course my Christmas is not complete without an excitement voice talking to my parents on the phone, it’s my only way to lessen the sadness of the absence of each other and to also give them strength that i am doing well without their presence.

Christmas was fun and refreshing it’s a getaway to the reality, it will make you want to stop the time and just enjoy every minute without worrying of tomorrow. It may be not the best Christmas for me but it’s always the best way to glorify our Lord for he’s the reason why we are on earth.
