There are so many things that can be said about Christmas! We can talk about its origins, about its present, about the places where it's celebrated and how it's celebrated, about the typical food of this celebration by region, about the gifts that are usually given, about Christmas music or movies ... in short, there's so much that can be said about this Holiday, that we've decided to talk about Christmas in just a few words, trying to capture the essence of the Christmas spirit, to prepare the mood for this celebration.

Christmas spirit

Unfortunately, we everyday see in the news that many things are wrong with the world these days and it often lowers our spirits to the point where we may find no reason to celebrate at all. There are wars, people going missing, hunger, poverty, slavery, waste, consumerism, climate change, etc ... yet, we don't want to focus in this list, we'll leave that to the media.

What is it then that we do want talk about when mentioning these issues? That although there are many things that are going wrong, we need to focus on what is going well, which is also a lot. And Christmas is an ideal time to take a pause, meditate and rethink the direction that we want this world to take.

For Christians, this celebration revolves around the birth of Jesus Christ and implies an opportunity to start over, to rethink the path, to have a new spiritual birth, one that matches Christ's main teachings: justice, peace, love, compassion, sobriety, humility. If we work on ourselves and take this opportunity to "be reborn", we can build - together - a world that reflects this kind of authentic Christian person that we want to be.

For non-believers (in the religious Christian sense) who anyway celebrate Christmas as a family tradition that allows us to meet with our loved ones, it's also an opportunity to gather, meditate, change. If there's something that Christmas has, it's a spirit of peace and coexistence that is strengthened by the bonds we build up when meeting the people that we love most. We can take advantage of this gathering and this spirit of peace to rethink this "new birth" of conscience, of living together, of being with others, of seeking the common good.

Christmas Spirit of Hope

This is the message that we can all, religious and nonreligious, receive: In this very complicated world, there's still hope! We can live better, we can make the good news (of course they're also good news!) multiply and even outweigh the bad news. We can build ourselves based on respect, equality, empathy, and Christmas is the perfect time to for this new hope (that we so much need the see in world) to be reborn.

It's not that the world is doing so bad, that we have no reason to celebrate Christmas, quite the opposite! That's exactly why we need to foster our Christmas spirit and rebuild ourselves, together.

So yes, let's celebrate! Let's celebrate the getting together, let's celebrate that this Christmas, we have a new opportunity to be re-born. Let's celebrate that we still have goals that go in the opposite direction to the discomforts that we everyday witness and not settle.

Let's talk, sing, eat, give each other hugs and gestures of togetherness and of affection, for Christmas is coming and with it, a new re-birth opportunity of all of us, for all of us.
