Meaning of Christmas

These days I've seen that the situation in my country isn't ok... We have big economy problems... Even for the people who have money it was hard to buy presents... This year I didn't receive any presents and I couldn't buy anything for my friends or all the family... I really want this to change and everything to get better... I know that I don't need any present in order to be happy, but there are a lot of people that work a lot and deserve the best, there's also a lot of people that need help and it gets harder to help with this situation...

Even knowing the situation I can't get how peopleonly think about the material things... I mean, everything should have a balance... Most of them only think on what they don't have or couldn't wear for Christmas... And the real meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ... I went to the church,  received him with all my heart and I found myself in the Catholicism. I'm so thankful because I understood so many beautiful things people don't see because they only follow the world and not theirs hearts, because if they follow their hearts, they'll find God living there. But for people it's better to have the noise than just the silence of feeling peace.

Hello Maria,

I am not a Catholic but I understand the way you feel, everything is so commercial these days - even Christmas. As I do not have  lot of money this year my children are getting pre-owned gifts,  they are none the wiser and they will get as much enjoyment out of them as the most expensive toys. Christmas is about religion and family.

Just a few corrections and my best wishes for a better Venezuela for 2016.

Even knowing the situation I can't get how people think only in about the material things... I mean everything should have a balance... Most of them only think on about what they don't have or couldn't wear for Christmas... And the real meaning of Christmas is Jesús Christ... I went to the church and I received him with all my heart, and I found myself in the Catholicism [You can say either "in the Catholic Church" or "in Catholicism"], I'm so thankful because I understood so many beautiful things people don't see because they only follow the world and not their hearts, because if they follow their heart they'll find God who lives there. But for people it's better the noise than just the silence for feeling peace. [I'm not sure what you meants with this sentence.]

Merry Christmas! I'm glad that you've found God and are able to feel peace through Him.
