Open Your Hearts and Spread Happiness on Christmas
This year’s definitely the second
time we celebrate Christmas amidst pandemic. The usual Christmas glee and
excitement we are used to be still not possible this year. Another occasion
with an incomplete family for those who live far away from each other. In focus
with the pandemic, we are preoccupied with guidelines and regulations on how we
celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ as well as welcoming the New Year. We are
only permitted to celebrate it with only members of the family who are living
in the same household, and being discouraged to visit one another for our
mutual protection and safety.
Christmas should be really fun
and it is celebrated with the whole family, but I think now at the midst of
pandemic would be less happy. They are discouraging party gatherings and limit
physical interactions for everyone to avoid the spread of corona virus. I feel
pity for those people especially to OFW’s who are unable to return home for
Christmas to celebrate it with their family. Others can be front liners who are
forced to stay on duty, college students who are stuck during the lockdown at
their universities and relatives who are really from far away. Despite our
current situation, we need to try our best to stay connected with our family on
this special day of the year. We have to make time and set aside all the things
and let yourself relax and be happy with family and friends. Make them feel
loved and cared, surround yourself with joy and fill it with positivity.
Celebrating Christmas in its
essence, in its simplicity as it said. All we have to do now is to keep in mind
that it’s still Christmas, the season of heart, hope, giving and sharing. Let’s
make it fun, be happy and thankful for what we have right now. Let us all trust
God and so He will provide and make a way for us to get through this pandemic
and every challenges we are facing right now especially to those people who are
affected the most.
