First of all I would like to enunciate what Christmas begins to me and I begin with an acrostic of Christmas.

C Stands for Christ and it’s from Christ that blessings, grace and mercy flow. Christ came for us to save us from our sins and that’s what makes Christmas a special occasion. May Christ, grant you, peace, love and blessings for the year 2018.

H Stands for happiness. Even during times of difficulties we must be able to lend a cheerful smile. We must be filled with happiness for our families and our loved ones. Happiness also means lending a helping hand to the needy.

R stands for Resistance. When we are faced with life’s temptations and when evil forces try to subdue us we must flee from it. R also stands for repentance. We must learn to repent to God our inequities. Even Christ was tempted by the Devil after his 40 days of fast in the wilderness. So this Christmas let’s learn to resist and repent.

I stands for the Ego and the Self but what Christ says is to lower your ego and humble yourself. One must be servants to others and not masters. We can’t understand God with the I in it. We have to feel the love of his presence.

S Stands for solidarity and solidarity means acting in unison for the welfare of all. Solidarity begins at home and we as fellow family members we should retain the self with solidarity. Solidarity also means engaging in pursuits which benefit the society.

T stands for time there are three types of time clock time, inner time and eternal time. Clock time is all familiar and needs no explanation. Inner time is the time spent with our inner subjectivity. We can spend our inner time in solitude and meditation. We can have fellowship and communion with God. Eternal time is heavenly and it’s the time so that will make us immortal with the presence of God.

M stands for mutual-ism. Mutual-ism is an action that will benefit both parties. Our relationship with our fellow beings should be based on the spirit of mutual-ism and good camaraderie.

A stands for acceptance and should always be in a positive frame of mind and accept our circumstances and transform our lives with our limited opportunities.

S signifies sincerity. We should be sincere in our actions. Our Karma should be such that we seek no reward for our actions.

I hope the love, presence, fellowship, grace and mercy of God Christ be with us all this Christmas and the year 2018.
