“Jesus, the Son of God, came to Earth for all people.”
How many times have you wished as a child that Santa Claus would visit you tonight and bring you gifts? Christmas is a time of joy, peace, and celebration. It is the season set aside to commemorate Jesus Christ's birth. Christmas is simply a reminder of why we should stay true to humanity's core values. That is, despite the COVID-19 epidemic, we still treasure Christmas in our homes and are taught to share, contribute to the less fortunate, spend time with loved ones, and have a positive attitude towards life in general through festivity. It's the holiday season! It's that time of year again, and we're all looking forward to it.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, Christmas in 2021 will be very different from any other year. So many people have already died as a result of this fatal sickness, and the number does not appear to be decreasing any time soon. This year, we won't be able to experience the normal Christmas joy and mirth that we've come to expect. COVID, however, should not detract from our Christmas festivities. We will continue to celebrate Christmas, but only with our immediate families, in order to maintain our health and safety. Despite not being able to be together in person, there are ways to celebrate and enjoy the holidays. Shopping for Christmas gifts online, watching movies with our family, and video chatting with friends and relatives are just a few of the things we may do. Even though this holiday season will be different and unpleasant for many, we may take solace in knowing that the sacrifices we make now will protect us, our loved ones, and our communities. Let us promote more hope, peace, joy, and love this holiday season!
Christmas is, without a doubt, the most wonderful time of the year for both children and adults. Despite the fact that this year has been challenging for all of us, we remain hopeful. That, among all of the fear and despair caused by the pandemic, God is with us, has always been with us, and always will be with us. Jesus is the world's light! May the infant Jesus always have a place in our hearts; may our lives reflect Christ's presence; and may our homes exude God's peace. We will all get through this crisis together because we have a lot of faith, hope, and love.
