What did you expected when christmas is near? Many people said that it is all about the date when Jesus Christ was born. Perhaps, it is also the time of reunion for family. But sometimes they are celebrating the christmas because of their likes and happiness without valuing Jesus Christ. For them, christmas are just the time of accepting gifts to have parties that never respecting Jesus Christ. However, those things resulting form drinking alcohol that eventually cause of quarelling and some incident inside of family members. As time goes by, people celebrate christmas as a business. Yet, like the western countries the christmas day is one of the beautiful way of earning money for the fabrics, businessman, and all sectors of the company. They display all things infront of the stores related to christmas . Hearing music along the street that never heard before. All of them are the things we can see now.
In addition to that, we can already see a lots of alcohol cans and alcoholic people everywhere. For those countries that never celebrate christmas, they are now doing some things related to this like showing the picture of santa claus and displaying the christmas light. Nevertheless, they trying to be not different from the others. Then by thinking that other countries progressing their business because of this occassions they believe that similar for them will enhance their business too. For parents, they believe to be a rich people who's every needs of their children's will always given to them even if it is only their wants. Children brought many things related to christmas like toys, clothes, even uneccessary gadgets just to sufficient their happiness. In fact, it will result for making a business and all people thinking that christmas are just only a time for collecting money but the true essence of it will lost. How about you? Do you think christmas are just for money purposes or it is for remembering the only begotten son of God Jesus Christ? Your answer are depend for what are you doing now. No matter what we do, it's just so happen that christmas is the way of giving to others and having a sacrifice in your part.
On the other hand, now a days we live in a poor times that eventually we don't know how to survive for everyday's life. For this reason, poeple think that christmas was the time to make their lives progress. Sometimes, it is not reasonable what was our think to christmas as occassion that need to celebrate but to have more money. Way back before when the church and states having a good relationships that later on they begin to seperated because of misunderstanding about christmas. However the state against by this but the church declared that all countries should celebrate it. Therefore, the state make christmas as an ordinary day. Actually, when we trying to look back from the history about christmas we certainly see different perspectives like the country of rome. They have to celebrate their god named Saturnalia and the date was exactly form our christmas occassion. this was happen because they believe it is lucky for them. The rome never admit to make their occassion different to others but instead they trying to make the same. Yet, it's up to us how we make the christmas is for sale or make it as an occassion for our love ones. It also depend on our motives.
