Christmas Spirit-What Does It Translate?
Though Christmas emerges from Christianity, it is a global festival and is celebrated across the world.
The spirit of Christmas translates into love, peace and goodwill. The birth of Christ is celebrated, along with the values to be adhered that He had taught like, compassion, sacrifice etc.
Love
Jesus says, “Love thy neighbours as thyself". Christmas simply reminds oneself of the message. The very basis of Christianity is love, from which all other values stem automatically. The life and death of Jesus simply reveals love for the humanity. He loved all alike the sinner and the virtuous. His compassion was not only widely but uniformly spread like that of the sky. Hence to love all is the prime aspect of Christmas spirit.
Sharing
Love is what translates into sharing as well. That could be the reason behind distribution of gifts during Christmas. Distributing gifts is an integral aspect of the festival. Santa Claus, St.Nicholas is thus portrayed as distributing gifts with love during Christmas. Everyone in his own small way distribute gifts during Christmas. Sharing is thus one of the important aspects of Christmas spirit.
Peace

Goodwill

in
Christianity.
The
worship

is
involved

spirit.
Charity
Service is one of the most important aspects of Christianity. The numerous, wide spread missionaries across the world spells service. Mother Teresa was an embodiment of service. Charity comes in naturally where there is love for others.
Sacrifice

forms
one
of
the

For
how
could
one
ever
forget
the
immeasurable
sacrifice
of
Christ
of
His
life
on
the
cross
for
the
sins
of
humanity?
Sacrifice
is
a
strengthening
bond
in
humanity.
Celebration
Last
but
not
the
least
is
celebration.
Christmas
celebration

of
love,
joy
and
peace.
Needless
to
say
that

celebration
commemorates
the
birth
of
Christ,
people
rejoice
the
coming
of
the
saviour.
New
clothes,
gifts,

aspect,
all
together
integrate
as
celebration.
Ultimately it is love that translates into Christmas spirit, which form the basis for the flowering of other values.
Let us thus light the flame of love and bring about inner illumination this Christmas 2010, and many more to come.
