Christmas will come soon, in a time range but a single month before, all Christians in the world will celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, a figure that all humanity in the world believed as the savior.
In the country I live in, Indonesia, and probably in every country in the world, the workload towards Christmas has been seen since the last weeks of November. And if we walk through some shopping centers around here, Christmas accessories have been sold in many places.
There is even often a special bazaar that sells Christmas decorations, from decorative lamps and other types of hanging decorations, such as Santa and sparkly balls as well. As a whole it seems very beautiful to me, due to the dominance of blue, green, white and small silver and gold accessories that make it look very elegant and very attractive.
Some Christmas trees are also for sale. Generally, Indonesians use a Christmas tree made of cloth to put at home. It is probably quite difficult to get a genuine pine tree here, remembering that the existence of the pine birch differs from that originally used abroad.
Fashion designers don’t want to be left behind either. In special moments like this, Christmas-tinged outfits and garments are worn in shades of red and white, while black always feels neutral.
At times like this, the children who expected to be happy and worried, thinking of themselves, what will they receive as Christmas gifts? And the housewives who have been planning the menu to present for Christmas. As we all know, Christmas is the time where all the members of the family get together, especially for the bigger ones in the family, their home would be the place where the other members of the family gather.
There is so much hilarity that marks Christmas, but one point to remember about Christmas as the birth of Jesus is that Jesus was born in a cage in all his restraint.
Because if we think deeper, the true meaning of Christmas is to share love. The readiness to share love with everyone, in the same way as the readiness of Jesus to come down to earth, to spread love and affection to humanity.
