Christmas is near, are you ready?

Christmas day is always the most exciting event that happens once in a year. Every family member is present and excited to celebrate this day meaningfully. As foods are merrily prepared, everyone does his or her share in the task to fill the whole house with yuletide ambiance. Little children usually gather around the Christmas tree excited for the gifts prepared for them to be opened at exactly twelve midnight. But more than a celebration, it is the great time when a family shares the love and care for each other.

In far flung areas where poverty lingers, Christmas is just an ordinary day to celebrate. As usual, the father strives to earn something for his family. The wife budgets the money usually alotted for foods and other needs for the day. When Christmas Eve comes, an ordinary preparation such as what is left during their dinner is done while the whole family gathers around their wooden table and a festive mood occurs after reciting their prayer of thanksgiving.

The most important is that, as a family, we are complete and loving each other during this special ocassion and beyond.The spirit of Christmas is always love and to share it with oth
