Each year we usually see, at least here in Argentina, the results left the festivities of Christmas Eve. Almost like a finely planned routine, the media are responsible to make known the consequences of the festivities, traffic accidents caused by driving after drinking more alcohol than that of the account, children and adults injured by fireworks burns , and at other times episodes of violence generated by family problems. that our society is associated with the celebration of Christmas to situations that have nothing to do with the celebration itself. When you think of this date, automatically the first thing that comes to mind is, What shall we eat? What are we going to take, What are we giving away?. The same consumer society that surrounds us take this time to make us believe that it is an artificial tree with lights, a Santa Claus, decorations, shopping centers emphasize the phrase "Merry Christmas", but paradoxically there are few, at least I know that really celebrate.
For Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, but we've just made a ritual that must be met only by tradition.
That strange paradox, we celebrate something that does not really celebrate, and conform to a miserable selection of food, many drinks, fireworks and tradition, one tradition, while the owner of the celebration is totally excluded from "their party" .
Maybe time to rethink such as our festivals, and what is the real priority that we call on hold, and not just associate this day to the great feasts, traffic accidents due to excess alcohol, fireworks or victims of violence.
Jesus said: By their fruits ye shall know them.
I'll have the audacity to paraphrase the text as follows:
Tell me what is the fruit of your party and tell you to celebrate.
From my point of view, the problem of this area is the result of the lack of depth for not having met the owner of the celebration.
Christmas propitious time for Jesus to change your life forever, let it go, He is knocking at the door of your home.
