CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

 Christmas is one of the very special event in every year. We Christians celebrates christmas as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. This to show the traditions and practices of both religion and secular in nature. In every December 24th of the year people around the globe prepare for a big celebration in midnight, and also waits the Christmas countdown in midnight where the Christmas celebration is happen in exact 12:01 in the midnight. Christian people around the world have different style of celebrating christmas, different style but have the same goal and faith of the christmas spirit.

Filipino has the most unique in celebrating christmas season. We Filipinos have a lot of practices in terms of celebrating christmas. Filipino people starts to celebrate christmas in ber-months, they set up belens, decorate their home with different lights and have the most unique art work the parol. Filipino also attends a Simbang gabi, simbang gabi is a straight nine day mass, a mass that held during dawn. During christmas season there are a lot of people, individual, duo or in group performing caroling in the streets or maybe in different doors depends on where this people go, after performing the home owner or  audience give a price (money) to the performer as a form of gift. Most of the people eat in Christmas eve, but Filipinos wake up in the mid night for Noche Buena to welcome the Christmas Day.

There are a lot of ways in celebrating christmas in the world. Christmas makes the world happy and united, it also make a pause in worries, families unites to celebrate christmas together. Christmas gives a peace of mind for those who believes in it. In christmas season we witness a lot of things that shows love in different part of this globe, by sharing blessings. All of those things and many more make a christmas more special and meaningful.

Christmas in this current year will be way of different from other christmas, because of the happenings in world right now. Christmas will not be that good for the other people who are not feeling good and well. Here in Philippines there are too much of bad happenings, a lot of disaster visited in Filipinos home. Despite of this all Filipino is a different fighter in this kind of situations, because there are a lot of people also that never forgets their fellow countrymen. In my sorroundings I see people with a golden hearts who also lending their hands to help others and even inspire other to stand up no matter what.

As what I have said ,I see different kind of christmas but it has the same goal and faith with love which shows the true spirit of christmas. I see no different in terms of love and humanity of the people, and will to serve others that needed help in this christmas. As I said christmas brings unity, peace and love, that no matter what happens christmas spirit will stay the same.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!❤
