Just in case you miss it!

By Dr jarlat Uche opara

Let not your euphoria over the transient aspect of Christmas dim the glorious cry of the baby Jesus and the light so radiant he brings.

Let not the crave for meat , drink and fine wears pull wool over your eyes, making very invisible the beauty that comes with his birth in our hearts.

To the epicureans, Christmas is just about food and drink. To the fashion freaks, it is nothing beyond appearing dapper in trending designers.

To those whose orgies for immorals are insatiable, Christmas is about fanning such into flames, unleashing it on the vulnerable and morally weak.

The celebration of Christmas comes in diverse ways. But the true celebration of it is in the spread of Christ beyond boundaries, making him visible in words and action, not fighting shy of projecting him unapologetically.

Christmas is about joy to the world. Happiness to your family, charity to the less privileged, love to all and salvation to souls. Until all these become the attraction, the propelling desire and crave very irresistible, one may be celebrating everything but Christmas.

Celebrate Christmas with Christ being the focus not Christ as the backbencher, beaten, flogged and humiliated with the stains of sin in an event that commemorates his birth.

He should be cladded in nice wears of godliness, righteousness, peace, love, forgiveness etc not clothes that oozes the most horrible stench of atrocious lifestyle, a true reflection of what many champion as Christmas.

Happy Christmas to all whose Celebrations are Christ like!
