Nowadays, children were bounded with a lot different thoughts and ideas about Christmas. Different as what my parents had taught me about this very special day of the year. There are some who are very much excited about Santa Claus; some are after with the gifts that they will be receiving on that day; some are too excited, thinking of the parties, foods and even with whom they will be celebrating the season with.
Unlike with what my parents told us, Christmas is special and important because it is Jesus Christ's day; it is His birth. A day where, just like what we should do everyday, we will continually give love, kindness, care and share everything that we have to others. A day to continually inwardly reminisce and cherish what had Jesus taught to and done for us.
On the other hand, children should not be blamed with those thoughts that they have about Christmas because it is actually of how people around influence and let them so. Will children be excited more about Santa Claus if we are to introduce or let them realize on their young age the real importance of Christmas? Will they be more excited with the parties and number or kind of gifts that they will be receiving if we teach them what those gifts are for?
Christmas is not about whom you will celebrate with nor what you have on your table to eat; It is not about the quality nor the quantity of the gifts that you will give or you will received; Christmas is not about having decorations in your houses nor a star on the Christmas tree; It is not about wearing red suits and red hats.

Christmas is about doing good things to others to make God and Jesus Christ be proud. Christmas is about Jesus and the children of love, understanding, peace, kindness and goodness, the children of God; a day where we continually cherish, be thanked and value everything we receive from Him.
So, If I am to help children for them to have a bountiful Christmas, first in hand , I will let them realized what Christmas is really for. I will be transmitting the value with how my parents positively molded me with the true means of Christmas. How? I will lead them to open the door and inwardly welcome Jesus Christ on their hearts and effulgence their faith to Him. I will make them realized that best Christmas will be experience if they first best let Jesus' spirits be in their mind, heart and soul.
We have the quotation, "It is not the gift but thought that counts", similar with what Christmas is for. It is not what we have or whom we are with on this day, but it is how we celebrate it. Christmas is a day for everybody. Let us not just simply enjoy this day, we must outreach ourselves to everybody. Let children be bounded with the true means and spirit of Christmas. Let us, together with children, invite and welcome Jesus Christ in every parties and celebrations that we will have. Let us help children to effulgent their faiths and beliefs. Teach them to realize the beauty and sense of giving and receiving gifts.
