Let us aim to be a gift — one that keeps on giving. This season, and beyond. Twenty-nine days till Christmas, everyone! READ:
Everywhere I go, lights are glistening, avenues are lit up, Christmas tree lighting ceremonies are abound, and Christmas carols are on full blast. It is also beginning to feel a lot more like Christmas with the rush in everything. The “holidaze” are most definitely here again, and in stark contrast to the past two years, in my opinion, back with a vengeance to pre-pandemic levels.
And when I think back to my holidays pre-pandemic, Christmas has always been a happy time — despite the rush, the hectic mood, and the frenzy of it all. It is a season of abundance where people tend to be more generous than other times, are more willing to engage in festivity and celebration, and in general, when people are in happier mood. Gatherings and get together are in full swing — nights are longer, days are shorter, as they blur and overlap into each other.
As Christians, Christmas is the celebration of our savior’s birth. An occasion that merits all the merrymaking, but one that should also remind us to be a man for others. The stark reality among the merriment we enjoy is that there are more who are deprived of such. If only for this season, may those of us who find ourselves in a more privileged and prosperous position not forget to share our blessings so that a family or two can enjoy more.
So as the season gets going, and as we are ticking of our Christmas lists, we often find ourselves wondering: “What can we get those who have it all?” More often than not, the answer lies in being a gift that will keep on giving. The best gift you can give someone who can buy anything, and who perhaps has everything, is the chance to be a blessing to others. So go out there, and look for a cause and advocacy that resonates with yours, or better yet, with the person you are wanting to gift.
