A Conspiracy that Engages the Entire World

And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. "For unto you are born this day in the city of David A Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."

- Luke 2:10-12

Christmas, the date of birth of Jesus Christ, a season that engages the entire world in a conspiracy of sharing, love, peace. It is the most celebrated holiday in the whole year by the entire world that even I like it more than my own birthday.

As you woke up in a September morning, you feel the cold breeze touching your skin, telling you to get excited for the awaited holiday of the year is already approaching. So, there enters the start of the countdowns for the Christmas. Twinkling lights, colorful lanterns and extravagant Christmas trees are seen in every home, school, and establishments, they are everywhere. Sweet voices of the Christmas carolers are on your doors. Christmas programs and parties are thrown. Gifts were sent and received.

During this season, we let the people near us to feel how much we love and cherish their presence. We sent them gifts, cards and even tell them how thankful we are. We also try to visit them in their homes. It is really nice to give something we have and to receive unexpected gifts.

Though we celebrate it filled with material things, we still don’t forget its true essence for Christmas is also known to us Thanksgiving Day to remind us that we celebrate it to thank the God for sparing us, sinners, his only begotten son to save us from the fires of hell. That’s why we celebrate this day with our family and together have a dinner with them. And as a gift to God, to whom we owe everything, we give Him our love, gratitude and even our own lives.
