What is Christmas?

I hate Christmas..
With all the stockings hanging on the fireplace
With all the ornaments hanging on a tree
With all the gifts displayed under the tree
With all the.. "Ooh! Discounts!!!"
With all the lists and what and who to give
With all the cheers of thank yous this is what I ever wanteds
With all the wishlists, "I want this"-es
With all the boohoos I'll be lonely this Christmas-es
With all the gatherings ending up a shattering
With all the lonely people, sitting quietly, cannot relate with Christmas
Because Christmas is all about love to share, smiles to wear, sorrys to bear

But I don't hate Christmas when it's all
because of being adopted as sons of the Most High
through Jesus Christ the Son of God.
His coming was a celebration.
His second coming will be a more than a mega-celebration.

I don't hate Christmas..
If it's all about reaching out the lonely
And make them feel like family
If all Christmas mambo-jumbo is being set aside
To prioritize the neighbor you're sitting beside
If 90% of the parties is really all about worshiping
The God of heaven and earth who did all the creating

But there is still so much more to know about Christmas
behind all those holiday and festive, and yuletide cheers.
