Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus is essentially a spiritual observance; however, like many other religious festivals, the onslaught of the material and consumer dimensions has greatly submerged the essence of Christmas. Three signs of the Christmas Season which go beyond the realm of being purely ‘spiritual’, in a way continue to communicate the glad tidings of Christmas: of peace on earth; of love, joy and fellowship to all women and men of goodwill.
Jesus is born that we might learn: The message of Christmas is not about 'having,' but about 'being.' It is a message, as we have said earlier, of Justice, Peace, Love and Joy. It does not belong only to those who worship him, but it belongs to all. It is a message, which has a mandate and needs to be realized in concrete action.
