Christmas symbols

The nativity or the "belen" that pictures the image of Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus in the manger is always presented in the Catholic church to give life to how God fulfilled His promise for sending His only son for all mankind.
Christmas wouldn't come to be if not for Jesus' birth.

The Christmas tree on the other way around has many reasons for being symbolic during Christmastime. Too many assumptions and beliefs have crop up for having Christmas tree as another sign that Christmas is nearing.

But whether we have these symbols or not as we celebrate Christ's birth, may we never go too far from the real meaning of the Christmas celebration. And that Christmas is not only seen in the gift giving and in the sumptuous food that we serve on our table during the occasion. The real spirit of it all should have been in our hearts who is Jesus. It is how we welcome Him as part of our life as Christians.

Merry Christmas to everyone! God bless us all throughout the year and more years to come!:)
