The Reason for the Season

Christmas is one of the season most envisaged by individuals; parents, young adults, teenagers and children.

For believers it is symbolic of a unique gift to man kind. The season symbolizes the birth of Jesus Christ; the saviour of the world, who came from heaven to earth to redeem mankind from Sin and restore man's broken relationship with his maker.

Prior to Christmas is thanks giving celebration which ushers in the Christmas day and proceed to boxing day.  It is a celebration of fat things from my perspective having observed how people go about it.

Traders smile home this season as well as purchasers for exchange of goods for cash. Craftsman are not left out, it appears to be a season for change of furnitures and appliances. It calls for Painting or facelift of their residential abode.

Children get excited at the coming of Christmas as it ushers in Christmas parties, visit to friends and relatives, chocolate, chicken and cake festival, new clothes and shoes, cinema for those who can afford, fireworks and lots more. 

Sadly, it is a season people especially adults put themselves in unnecessary pressure to look like what they are not. They resort to borrowing to purchasing items and goods... simply trying to impress who I don't know.

Notable this season of Christmas is the spirit of giving which puts smiles on faces; to friends, family members, widows, widowers, orphans...

Let's always remember the reason for the season is Jesus Christ
