What is the real meaning of Christmas?
Christmas is a day abroad when the whole world celebrates and the people rejoice. For people in Europe and the United States, Christmas is like the Chinese New Year. They have Christmas holidays, give Christmas gifts, and participate in various Christmas activities.
1. We start from its birth
The Bible says that because a child was born for us, and a son was given to us, the government will rest on his shoulders. His name is Wonderful, Counselor, Almighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. So the buds of this festival began to grow. Such a person is closely related to our life. But in the human mind, Christmas is a carnival, a traditional culture, and a day to ward off evil spirits. The Bible tells us that Christmas is the day when Jesus Christ was born and will forever be our mediator. It is also a day for everyone to establish a life relationship with Almighty God, a day for people to be reconciled to God. Jesus was not born for others, but about our personal affairs. We live, move, and survive because of him. As you who wrote poems, some said: We are also born of him. Jesus came to save people from sin.
2. Happiness in the eyes of those young people
First of all, the so-called “Christmas” is mainly celebrated by businesses and young people, and most people with a certain age experience are indifferent to it. Merchants are looking for opportunities to engage in business activities. Their purpose is to do business to make money. Of course, they will not consider such things as culture. In their eyes, “Christmas” is no different from the Double Eleven and Double Twelve that have been introduced by merchants in recent years. They are all about urging consumers to consume appropriately.
Secondly, in the eyes of young people, they will not have the idea of so-called cultural communication. In their eyes, it is only fun and lively. Those who are interested, in such a relaxed and lively atmosphere, take the opportunity to show goodwill and confession to their favorite objects. Think about it, you can get off the list with the so-called “Christmas” gift. This is definitely a cost-effective thing. Even if you don’t get off the list, young people will have more opportunities to have fun together. It has nothing to do with these, what’s wrong with taking the opportunity to be happy with your friends? Therefore, in their hearts, they don’t think of any cultural transmission, they just take the opportunity to be happy, that’s all.
