It is once again the holiday season. It is time to find the best gift for our 'inaanaks' with the limited budget that we have. People who already received their 13th month pay or Christmas bonus are very lucky because they already have the means to go shopping. To those hardworking employees like me who are yet to get their extra compensation just console ourselves that atleast we will still have extra bucks while almost everyone already used theirs.
I refuse to be suck in all this Christmas madness. There is a more important preparation that we should do more than the consumer side of the occasion. We have to remember that the celebration is all about the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We have to be spiritually prepared in His coming. I think it is easier to do than hunting for great deals in the mall. Attending the mass is one of the good ways to be ready for His birthday.
We often fall in the wrong notion that we have all the time in the world. Try to be good tomorrow instead of today. Miss the mass because we can just attend it next Sunday. Procrastinate in our studies because there is always the next semester. Mess up with our job for the evaluation is still at the end of the month. But the truth is, we would not know if there is really a next time to do it. He will come, just as sure as His first coming. So we have to be prepared, everyday.
