Christmas time is fast approaching—we can hear the Christmas bells during simbang gabi, children singing Christmas songs for carols, lanterns hanging in every houses and the feeling of Christmas cold at night.
Perhaps we are now thinking of what to ask from our parents for gifts or maybe wishing that our ninongs and ninangs will still give us money for aginaldo. Some are maybe planning to spend the season with friends in other place and so on.
Fact is, we sometimes forgot the real meaning of Christmas. It doesn’t count by the number of gifts you have given or received, the new things you will have nor by the dishes you will prepare for the Noche Buena or in terms of the place you will celebrate it.
The real spirit of Christmas is joy; its heart is for hope, and a wonderful message of love and peace. Look back on all the blessing that we had and not on all the problems that we had encountered. Let us give what we got.
May the wonderful blessing of Christmas be with you throughout the new year! Merry Christmas all Codians and DevComs!
Greetings from Vinz, Rina and Ate Weng.
