I know that this is late for a christmas post but I am going to write the post anywayy :D:D
Coming up to Christmas everything is about last minute shopping to buy christmas gifts and there were so many discounts around for the last minute shopping... (being an asian, i was excited about the discounts bit but the excitement stops there :D:D)
I dont grow up in a christian family so christmas is never about giving or receiving present from anyone, so i dont really think much about gift (s). I grew up knowing santa and gifts but because my parents dont know much about it either hence they didnt really talk much about it!! i only saw santa's decrations at shopping centre and thats pretty much it!! I never really see christmas as a season for presents.
But I was reminded from the christmas that just passed that christmas is all about Gift. It is about receving gift MORE than giving gift though, let me explain...
Christians get the ultimate gift for Christmas and that gift is JESUS... Jesus is the greatest gift because he is incomparable with any other thing that this world has to offer. God who give us the gift (Jesus) didnt just give us a normal and impersonal gift but he gave us HIMSELF in Jesus!! complicated?? i know, but this is the awesomeness of christmas for christians that our gift giver gave us the ultimate gift which is himself :D:D
Now that i have jesus in my christmas, christmas' excitement is not about big discounts and christmas shopping anymore but because i was given the ultimate gift which is JESUS :D:D
A gift that is better than any gifts i received and will receive because Jesus will last while other things will eventually fall!!
I hope that everyone had a meaningful christmas and not one that was just a tradition or a celebration without knowing or understanding the real meaning to it!!
