The onset of the month of October brings joys to most people who believe in the true spirit of Christmas. This early, many Christians already fill the air with festive atmosphere of celebration even if Christmas proper is still a few months away. In practice, Christians would make it a habit to hang star lanterns of all shapes and sizes in their houses, streets and even shopping malls, to let the world knows that the birth of Jesus is just around the corner.
But that is in contrast to what others feel in some western countries, where Christmas is considered as just another ordinary holiday. However distinct is the observation of this yuletide season, many Christians immediately feel the longing for home to be with their families and friends. And those who could not be with their families due to economic reasons, they can just do whatever it is that will keep them in touch with each other. Of course, there are modern telecommunications facilities that could bridge the distance closer.
And there is also the internet, where you can chat on camera with your loved ones. Isn’t it a nice feeling to celebrate Christmas this early, even if you are far away from your loved ones? In fact, there’s a lot of possibilities that you can imagine. Perhaps, you can send cards early to avoid the rush and to let them know that you deeply care for them in a lot of ways.
To the Christian world, best wishes for the coming Yuletide Season!!!
