I have noticed and studied about how winter time is the time when most people have depression, gain weight or are the most stressed (and not stressed because of christmas because we know that sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven. Yes it can be stressful trying to get christmas ready, but in the end it makes us happy) .If you think about it, without Christmas (according to me) winter would be the most dreadful thing ever! But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There is Christmas. The season to be jolly, even though its really not! Why are people so happy during the winter? and what is this Christmas Spirit?
I think that the reason people are so happy during christmas is because we are celebrating the birth of our savior. And I know that a lot of people don't believe in christ and only celebrate christmas for Santa and presents, but i believe that Christmas is a huge part of celebrating christ. When Christ came to earth he taught us so many things. He taught us the way we should live, good standards and virtues that we should have. When we give gifts to others, its because we love them. We love people because it is godlike gift that we as his children inherited. Like it says in my favorite christmas song ‘O Holy Night “ Truly he taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is Peace” We give gifts and perform service projects during the Christmas season to show others our love and our affection for them. We learned this from the Prince of Peace.
He is the light and life of the world and of the year. He is always shinning and showing us the way. I think that it is the light of christ. His example. When we follow his teachings and his example, we will feel the Spirit of Christmas. We will feel his love. Think of how happy you are when you serve someone. When you do the right thing. That is the spirit. That is the love. And it’s this same feeling that we get at christmas time.
Christmas is SO symbolic of that. we have all our houses decorated with lights and a christmas tree with a star at the top (or an angel). We try to do good each year so we can be on Santa's’ “nice list”, You’re hopefully surrounded by your family and loved ones. Christmas is all about Christ. He is the joy that this season brings and this Christmas season i would like to focus on living and doing what he has taught, and by doing that, i will feel his love and find joy in this hard time of the year. I am so grateful that we have a savior. Someone who loved us so much that he gave his own life. God has a plan for each of us and it started when christ was born. To all my friends out there He wants us to live with him again, and we needed christ to atone for us so we could make it back. I love thee Lord Jesus, my Savior, my Brother and my King.
