The celebration of Jesus Christ is the main reason for this season.
However, commercial entities have discretely taken Christ from the equation as more popular names used are ʽMerry X-masʼ, ʽHappy Holidaysʼ, ʽFestive or Yuletide seasonʼ during this time of the year.
Money has replaced the spiritual and traditional Christmas that was once celebrated on this beautiful island. The ʽblingʼ culture as taken precedence, and who have the most expensive gifts to give are shown as dads or dons and the oneʼs who doesnʼt have anything to give, but a pleasant smile is shunned.
But, please wipe the cob webs from your eyes, wakeup early in the morning and smell the roses as this is about the time when Jesus Christ was born.
There is no date set in the Bible for Jesusʼ birth, and man has conveniently placed his birthday for December 25. The date of his birth is not the biggest issue now, the fact of the matter is that Jesus Christ was born, and he was blessed on this earth over 2000 years ago to save Man kind from himself. Even though many has fallen from the teachings of the Messiah Jesus Christ is still waiting for all who hear him with open arms.
Santa Clause is also used as a substitute for Christ which is a direct insult to Christians.
Mark you I am no scrooge and I love when people give, especially if you are giving willingly and it comes from the heart. Your loved ones, family and friends appreciate it very much.
Remember when you are going out for shopping, a get together and other social events do focus on Christ the one who started it all.
