As the cold wind sweeps our face and greets us, Christmas time is just around the corner and everybody is busy preparing for the coming of our Savior.  Christmas they say is a time for giving and sharing. It is also a time to show love to others.  But what is Christmas for those who have nothing to share and give?  It is ironic to think that while other people are rushing to fill there homes with lovely decorations and food to share during the Christmas day, a million people around are penniless, homeless, naked and lonely.

What would Christmas be for a family who could barely have a complete meal for a day?  Isn't it everybody's wish to have a hearty meal during the midnight of December 24?  Isn't it everybody's wish for Santa Claus to come and give them food on Christmas?  What is Santa Claus doing in the land of snow?

Christmas, yes Christmas is for those who have money.  Christmas isn't at all kind to those penniless people on the streets.  Yet they have something that no amount of money could buy.  They have the determination to live a life they think is right for them.  They live with the left overs of people around them and yet they have a smile on their faces.  The children laugh and run and chase each other.  They have a way of enjoying life.

Christmas will come and go and for those poor people out there, there is no difference at all if it is Christmas or not, for they live everyday in the same manner.  Perhaps for one meal they could be spared a fried chicken or a piece of pizza but all the same, they stay penniless for the rest of their lives.  Unless someone would bring them real good luck and they would be spared from their miseries.

I don't understand what Christmas means but I just know, Christmas is what people call sharing and giving.  The only sad thing is, we never share what we have with the poor people out there who need them.
