Acometidas De la Víspera De Navidad

This morning we visited our Aunt's house in Albay and came back around 4PM. We have to buy some things and hurry to church to practice for tomorrow's Sunday Worship.

Three hours from now and its Christmas. Many are busy with their Noche Buena. Christmas Eve rush that is. Everybody is going to celebrate Christmas tonight... Everybody... But sometimes the celebrant is left outside the house. Instead a big, fat guy in red suit is trying to steal the attention. Every table is set with delicious food but when the feasting started, no one ever invited the celebrant to come inside and eat. Gift-giving is next. Everybody receive something but the celebrant, everybody is hugging one another but did the celebrant ever got one? No!

How many of us never understood the real meaning and reason for the season? My mother-in-law had a wonderful dealing from God today. She said she will not prepare anything for the family instead prepare food for carolers and eventually share the gospel, make them understand why we have Christmas and that is exactly what I saw tonight.
