What is Christmas to you? It is a happy season isn't it? But what is the real meaning of Christmas then? Why do we celebrate it? During my childhood the only things that I know about Christmas are the gifts under a big green tree adorned with glittering lights and shiny balls. Now with my mature mind my view regarding Christmas has changed a lot.

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of the Messiah. He is called Emmanuel or God with us. Imagine a Supreme being incarnated for a great purpose. What is that purpose then? To save God's people from damnation, and from the wrath of His judgment day to come. God offered His only son to save us from death and has opened the door for the forgiveness of sins so that we will have everlasting life. What a gift God has given to us on Christmas! All that you have to do is to receive the gift and accept it by heart. Receive Jesus now and you won't regret it.

So be happy and be joyful this Christmas season!
