I have not seen a celebration in this world that has so much fuss and buzz in and around it like Christmas. If you plan to fly for a business trip in and around December because of Christmas you will be forced to book for the flight somewhere around November, if not, you will not get any airline that is not fully booked during the Christmas period. People all over the world travel during Christmas period and it don’t necessarily mean that they travel because they are Christians. They travel and in fact celebrate Christmas though they are not Christians, because it is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ the Savior of the world. Also, I have noticed that in some countries where the authorities doesn’t allow for the celebration in their land, the citizens of these countries jets out of their land to celebrate Christmas in other countries. So Christmas period becomes necessarily or unnecessarily busy period whether you like it or not, you have to put up with it.

However, Christmas period becomes a busy but profitable period of time in the life many people around the world. There are handfuls of people who do not ascribe to the celebration but surely they benefit from it materially, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. In this part of the world where I come from, Christmas period is a period when certain appointments for settling of family issues, community development programs, marriages and weddings and some massive spiritual camp meetings takes place. In fact many communities use Christmas period to showcase their cultures and introduce the latest masquerade they have and people troop out to go and patronize them. This is because it is the only period that people are on hand and can be brought to the table for talks, ideas and active participation. Therefore, if one decides not to celebrate Christmas he or she has to travel and celebrate it directly or indirectly because the things I mentioned above.

On the other hand, Christmas period is seen as a period to hustle big time in order to achieve certain objectives in life that will bring someone to certain plinth in the society. And as a result of this, many while trying are injured in any way possible and this oftentimes lead to regret and loss of lives all because of Christmas celebration. And for many youths and some sexually active adults, it is a period to look for new babes and guys to sexually mess up with and the result of this in so many occasions are not palatable to swallow. Somehow, Christmas period has become an atrocious period because of the mindset people have developed as regards to its celebration.

Many go to Church services not because they are really intoned with the rhythm and purpose of the service but because they have to show people that they have arrived and they are putting on the latest Gucci and any high class designer product. The absent of these kind of materials in their life would mean that they will not attend the service. A proper scrutiny of this period of celebration has revealed that it all leans on the satisfaction of the flesh and the materialism that is attached to it and the spiritual aspect of it is somehow denigrated to something not vital. There is this massive movement of people in and out of their locations during this period and at the end they return without spiritual impact from the celebration. The question is, of what significance is Christmas celebration without spiritual gain from it? And you as a believer how did the celebration affect your spirituality?
