What Christmas has become

in ghana •  7 years ago 

I thought celebrating the birth of Christ was to be a cause to reflect on how God loved mankind and the fulfilment of his plans for redemption. But now the purpose of the celebration has been lost. People havery limited it to just drinking and merry making.
It is either we are looking for the best clothes to wear or the biggest Christmas tree to buy, either we are looking for fattest chicken to kill or looking for the best wine to drink. was this the purpose of christmas?
Let us not loose focus of the purpose of celebrating Christmas. Let us use this occasion to reflect on the love of God for man and let us also extend our love to others. Let us remember that a certain baby jesus was given to us to come and die for our sins and that even if we are living in sin there is hope for redemption.
this is how some celebrated their christmasSis Priscilla 20171229_080146.jpgFB_IMG_1514506353802.jpgFB_IMG_1514506343893.jpg

Some say there is no xmas of there is no boose. We have limited the xmas to such an extent. Sometimes i think this world needs a fix. Why cant we stop producing this alcohol. Someone may say that it will create millions of unemployment and others . Nevertheless, i think this world would be better off without it

Great post
