The Christians believe that God made all things around us. These material and non-material elements came from the prime reality and therefore will one day return to the where it came from. The nature of this external reality is good because it is of God. Human beings are creations of God. He created human beings according to his image, that which is all good and without evil. Christians believe that as human beings are created under the likeness of God, so do human beings have the ability to create, posses personality and use his intelligence to take care of the planet. Human beings are born with original sin which is forgiven by God in the act of baptism or as human beings restore their faith in God through the love of Jesus Christ.

In death, a person’s soul is either carried towards the love of his maker who is God or banished away from love, depending on how he lived his life as human being. Death is either the beginning of being with God in heaven or entering Hell that is a place without love.

Christians believe in faith and this faith is the one that makes it possible to know anything at all. One must have the faith before one can arrive at wisdom. The mind is not the sole way to acquire knowledge. There is also the heart and the soul where the mind is able to integrate so that wisdom may be the one to summarize a person’s knowing of anything and everything.

Human beings are given free will to do what they think and feel right. However, balancing this free will is the gift of conscience. It is conscience that leads a man to act on a particular decision. Each decision has consequence and will lead to judging the act as either right or wrong.

Christmas brings a new life to the believers. Much before Christmas comes, the mood around the world changes. It is the anticipation of lovely days ahead of giving joy, meeting friends and family and feeling the spirit in the air that changes the most negative person to positive moods. Chistmas makes a person different. The same man, who you never see smiling, laughs during Christmas. That is the festive spirit of Christmas and that is why it is a lovely festival.

The most important part of Christmas is of course celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Another ritual of Christmas that makes it so special is giving. We send so many cards to friends and family that we lose the count. Similarly giving gifts is very important. Selecting the right gift for everyone, wrapping it lovingly and sending it across, all this is joyful. This joy cannot be described in words.

As I said earlier, it is the giving that is the major reason of happiness. If we look at our moods and behavior, we find that we always derive greater joy in giving compared to receiving. Can we not celebrate this spirit of giving everyday? Can we not get this joy everyday? Can we not make someone happy everyday? We can. With conscious effort, we can do one act a day that makes somebody genuinely happy. Why not carry the spirit of Christmas all the year and enjoy the happiness of giving. One is blessed when one gives. Let us get these blessings round the year. Make every day as beautiful as Christmas. Spread smiles all year around. Keep the Christmas spirit alive always in your heart. Let no one feel unhappy.
