The Unstoppable Essence of Christmas

I must admit that, while I am a devout Muslim, I feel that Christmas is one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year. There are several reasons why Christmas is one of the most anticipated holidays, as well as my personal favorite. There are beautiful lights and warm greetings that contrast with the cold weather, singing children who are clearly having a good time, people exchanging gifts and expressing love for one another; there are numerous reasons why Christmas is one of the most anticipated holidays, and it is also my favorite holiday. The essential meaning of Christmas is regarded to be about sharing love and expressing our greatest gratitude to those we love since it marks the birth of Jesus Christ, the Christian people's god. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic's ramifications, our actions are constrained. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the year 2021 has gained significant significance as a Christmas celebration. The Filipinos' Christmas celebration has been modest and straightforward, in contrast to the world's longest and happiest Christmas celebration. There are no traditional Christmas celebrations, family and class reunions, or magnificently illuminated trees.

As Filipinos prepare to celebrate Christmas, it is apparent that the crisis has had a significant impact on our economy, particularly in terms of rising unemployment and the closure or liquidation of enterprises across the country. Despite the crisis and all of the hardships, we are grateful for the continued growth of love and tolerance in our families and friends. I'm convinced that as long as we keep falling in love, we'll be able to overcome anything. Because of the virus, the Christmas' mood is a little different this year, however, that does not imply that family and friend gatherings will be canceled. Since we are so focused on the virus and the guidelines to battle it, we are bound by laws and norms on celebrating, as a result, we are discouraged from doing or celebrating anything. This year, the usual thrill and joy associated with Christmas seems a little bit drab. The COVID-19 outbreak should not put a stop to or ruin our Christmas celebrations! Christmas honors the birth of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and it is during such times that they are reminded most of his presence. After so many occurrences this year, I am really fortunate to be able to spend another Christmas. Having said that, in the faith of their and my lord, the genuine meaning of Christmas can still be celebrated.

Regardless of what has transpired as a result of the epidemic, it is critical for every family, especially children, to maintain the Christmas spirit. COVID-19, on the other hand, must be looked on to protect ourselves and others we care about. When everyone of us is secure and protected, we are all safer and more protected. In the Philippines, community quarantines have been in force for almost a year. You may be fatigued and unwilling to implement COVID-19 safety and preventative measures, but remember that not following procedures puts a strain on not only your health and life, but also your spouse's health and life. a wide range of people, particularly those with whom you interact this year. Each of us, young and old, will go through a major life transformation that will impact our mental health. It's even more delightful and refreshing this Christmas because several traditions and activities must be suspended in order to protect everyone from the outbreak. This Christmas, we all need more love from ourselves and our loved ones.
