The Reason for the Christmas Season

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout 
Cause I’m telling you why

Santa Clause is coming to town…..

Yeah right! Did you know this song? The lyrics are taken from the Christmas song called "Santa Claus is coming to Town".

Wow! The time goes fast and its December again. A month where I can feel excited for the Christmas day is yet to come and the Christmas vacation as well.

And because Christmas is forthcoming, our teacher in arts gave us a project which is to create a recycled Christmas decoration that can be hanging. Since this project is not an individual but group, we work for it as teamwork until we made this simple but beautiful parol (shown in the picture above). Amazing, isn’t it?

But behind that, how does our Christmas decoration symbolizes the essence of Christmas?

We all know that Christmas is a celebration of our savior Jesus Christ birthday, who come to this world to pay the price of out sin. It’s not all about the Christmas tree, neither material gifts nor the Santa Claus, but it’s all about the spiritual gifts. We just make use all of those cause we got historically educated on the true origin of what it is celebrated as Christmas.  

But if you wondered, why we put Santa Clause in the center, simply because to give joy. He represents as one when we are traditionally believe that there is a Santa who gives toys and other gifts to children at Christmas. Consequently, I believe that the joy of giving is the true essence of his existence. This is what our decoration symbolizes for in which the giving of love and sharing of blessings will yield gratitude and forgiveness, that is for me, this is the essence of Christmas.

We designed our outwork a colorful one, so through our simple decoration, we can give bright and hope to every one of us despite of all the tragedies that we've been through. Howsoever, we try to give people a reason to smile. No matter what happen, we can truly have a merry Christmas as long as Jesus is into our heart. God bless us all and together let's rejoice.

Belated Merry Christmas and have a lucky and happy New Year to everyone!
