Essence of Christmas

You'd Better Not Pout!

This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone

-Taylor Caldwell

The feel of the cool soothing air dew embraces my whole body and the sun’s rays that find its ways to the half-opened window forced my eyes to open. Yes, I was awakened by the gentle breeze that the morning offers me and I can’t really help myself in repeating this act. Maybe, this is what they’ll call December feels.

Speaking of this month, wherein Jesus Christ, the Great Redeemer was born, we’re all aware that it is the happiest season of the year. Christmas as we called it, celebrated every 25^th day of December.

As we can see, colorful lanterns, shimmering lights, decorated Christmas trees and Belen’s are hanging everywhere. Well, it has been our tradition which symbolizes the spirit of Christmas. Some also says that Santa Claus is a part of it and maybe they really believe that Santa Claus really exists.

Nevertheless, Christmas is the season of joy, happiness, togetherness, hope and love. It is a time thanksgiving, loving sharing and forgiving one’s fellowman. So we must put Jesus Christ as the center of our life. Not only that but also bear this into your mind that Christmas is not just all about Santa Claus, giving gifts to the children, it is not just all about Rudolph, the red nose reindeer but it is all about Jesus Christ who was born in the Bethlehem.

Climate Change

We have to face the reality of climate change.It is arguably the biggest threat we are facing today.

-William Hague

          Climate change is one of our major problems that are partially caused by the natural cycles of Earth. The world’s climate is changing, and the changes will have an enormous impact in our daily lives.

               Greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, and fossil fuel are some of the factors lead to climate change which is dangerous to human health and ecosystems. It is already affecting our communities through increasingly frequent and severe droughts, floods, extreme storms, sea level rise, and heat waves.

               All commitments to change our individual and collective behavior can be based on a moral commitment to environmental sustainability, motivated by a deeply-held concern for the well being of future generations, other living beings and Earth systems.

             Measures to stop climate change need to be taken now. We should make a move now, stand on an edge and clutch one’s hand for uniformity to make this world a better place.
