Haay...Krismas!

It's that time of the year once again. You can already feel the cool breeze and twinkling lights once again adorn every home and every store. That huge, huge green tree in Cubao is up and majestic amidst chaos in EDSA. And oh! Did you already hear Jose Mari and Lisa Chan singing their classic song "Christmas In Our Hearts"?

Yes folks, it's Christmas season.

I have always been fond of Christmas. It's like going to a happy, happy place where no problems exist and no sadness can be seen in anyone's eyes. But as I grow up, I have been aware on how our capitalism society "commercialize" the concept of Christmas so that no house is complete without a festive noche buena and no child could leave the house of ninong and ninang without a toy or two. And now that I have my own inaanaks, that might pose a problem for me, too. :p

I just hope that Christmas will not always be equated to new clothes or gifts or food or extravagant vacation. I believe Christmas is something more.

It's about Jesus.
It's about Him who was born in a simple manger to offer His life for all of us.

As what Channel 2's station ID says, "Ikaw Bro ang Star ng Pasko."

Amen. :)
