Tis the Season; Tis the Reason

Holiday season is the most exciting time of the year because most of the time, we get beautiful snow and go to many many stores trying to get our friends and relatives gifts to show how loving and caring you are towards them, and show them that you also think about them. But unfortunately, it is sad that some people focus on the materialistic side of it, instead of spending time reflecting on the meaningful part of Christmas.

I guess it's evident to say that for me, I look at Christmas in a religious perspective. I reflect on the fact that God sent his only child, Jesus-Christ, to die on the cross for us and wash our sins away. If he did not, we would have been the ones suffering beatings and finally, crucified on the cross. Yes, it is part of the tradition to exchange gifts between friends and family who are dear to your heart, but people should focus more on the outstanding reason of holiday season.
