I decided to write these passages because some people don't know the real meaning of Christmas. To me CHRISTmas is a time to thank the lord for what he has done for the people on this earth and the day that he was born in Bethlehem.

Christmas think that it is all about presents and material things. This is a time to forget all worries and the hatred that you have against people.

Christmas should be a day for family, but it has became a day about how much money can be spent and how quick you can open one present to get to the next.

I believe the meaning of Christmas has been lost through out the years instead of being about love and sharing with family/friends. It's all about how many hours you can spend in a store and how much money can you spend.

It is so sad that we have got away from the true meaning of Christmas. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to give one gift and have a wonderful dinner and enjoy just being with your family instead of over spending and going in debt? Well that is my out look on what Christmas has become and most of you probably understands and agrees with me!

So, Hello everyone may God bless each and every one of you all. Christmas is such a wonderful Holiday, but actually Christmas day is Jesus Christ birthday our Lord.

This day doesn't mean go give gifts, but to realize that this is the day God sent his only son so that we might have salvation.

This is what it's suppose to mean, but we as people made it seem like a day to give gifts and talk about Santa, when we really should be telling the children the true meaning of this day.

Everything else is good the gifts and everything, but it's good to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

What does it mean to me?

For me, Christmas is not only about eating and exchanging gifts. It's about being reborn again and purifying oneself.

Some of us might not be pure inside and would like to enjoy Christmas just by exchanging gifts and enjoying just because it's Christmas time.

Growing up as a believer, I have learned to purify my heart before celebrating any holiday such as Christmas and Easter, so, I think people should put some emphasis on how they celebrate Christmas.

Christ was born with a pure heart and humbled himself by lying in a manger and I think we have to follow his example and not just pretend to make it look like we really understood the message. Poor or rich it doesn't matter, what matters is what comes from within.

May everyone have a blessed Christmas "rejoice on this day?"
