What is the meaning of Christmas to you? A colleague asked me this question a few days ago. I replied that perhaps to many people, Christmas is a day of giving and sharing, a day of peace and joy, but to me, it is just another public holiday.
She then asked me if I know what was the reason for Christmas? I told her it was to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Indeed it is. But seems like these days, Christmas has become a day to have parties and to exchange gifts. "Imagine it is your birthday and the whole world is celebrating it, but no one invites you to their celebration!" she said. I smiled and didnt know what to say next. Nevertheless, I am not one of the "guilty ones" - I dont join in the countdown or put up Christmas tree in my home or buy gifts for everyone. I dont even send out Christmas cards now!
