The True Meaning of Christmas: Celebrating the Reason for the Season
December is Here and so is the famous Christmas holiday. We share food, we go to parties or concerts, we get a break from work or school. We reunite with family, we travel but more importantly we go to church to thank God for keeping us throughout the year. So many people might have forgotten the true reason for Christmas or why it even exists.
What is Christmas?
Christmas is a time for joy and love, it’s a time to share and care for others. Christmas is a national holiday all around the world, it has been recognized by all humans and all religion.
Have you ever paused and thought about the true reason for Christmas?
Christmas is originated from the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Christmas was created to celebrate the fact that God loves us so much he sent his son to die for us and save us. (John 3:16) The birth story of Jesus Christ can be found in the book of Matthew and Luke.
Christmas was established as a way to remind ourselves of God’s love and faithfulness for us human beings. Easter is also another holiday to celebrate the resurrection of Christ on the third day.
Do you know the true reason for Christmas yet forget it?
For those people that might need a reminder or catch up on the real reason of Christ can always go back and read Matthew and Luke. You can adapt it as a yearly habit, every December read the word to remind yourself why Christmas exists.
This Christmas take a moment to remember the true reason and make sure to show love to others to truly celebrate the holiday.

The inner self refers to our behavior, attitude, and reaction to something or a situation. These are things we have gradually stopped considering, as we now focus more on the outer self—material things, impressions, fashion, and lifestyle.
This problem cuts across almost every aspect of our lives: relationships, workplaces, church, and friendships. We often drop the inward version of ourselves for the outward and refuse to take a deep look inside. While this may sound cliché, it is truly needed.
There is a growing trend of accepting ourselves “as we are” or making excuses for our behavior—saying we do not need to change or that we are not the problem. In some cases, people even admit they are the problem but still refuse to change, claiming, “This is who I am.”
The honest truth is that we can change. If we remain the same inwardly, we will always end up in the same place and never grow. Even if the outside improves—money, status, or lifestyle—your mindset and attitude may still remain exactly as people have always known them to be.
So what’s next? Should we be satisfied with only the outward appearance? How then will you truly be happy with yourself when you are alone?
2025 ends soon, in just 3 days, the year we were hoping for in 2024 comes to an end, but a new year with renewed hope still comes, 2026. There are so many things many of us wanted to achieve, there are different experiences we all had this year, some can say it was the best, it was the worst, or it was like any other.
Life and goals aren’t limited to the year ending, many put a countdown or time limit to their dreams and what they want to accomplish. This shouldn’t be so, you can still carry out and achieve that same goal you wanted in 2025 in 2026. And trust, it will be okay as long as you accomplish it.
While that is sometimes a downside of the year coming to an end, the new year usually feels like a breath of fresh air. A chance to actually feel new, which is why there is the popular saying “New Year, New Me.” While of course, many fail the concept, it’s this same concept that helps them pick one or two goals, give them renewed hope, feels like fresh air and a fresh start.
So forget the worries, the failed accomplishments, the debts, the unsolved goals, because you get a fresh start to do it again in 2026.
