Merry Christmas??
Why i chose to put them in question marks is that i do not think Christmas something to be merry about. In the first place, Christmas is NOT the day Christ was borned, at least, that was not real, we cannot prove nor disprove. Also, it commemorates the day our Lord Jesus Christ have to come down to earth as a humble human being. He is the King of King, Lord of Host, God Himself! Yet to be borned in a manger, betrayed, suffered and hung is undued suffering for His status, especially since He did nothing to deserve these - He has no sin.Since Christmas remembers the day He came, it inevitably reminds me of why He had to, and what He had to went through in His human form. This brings to remembrance of our sinful and wretched state, castaway from our Father in Heaven due to our sins, and irreconcilable unless the blood of the righteous (which is God's) redeems us. Therefore it is more of sorrow than "merry".
However, it is not a day of mourning either. Because it commemorates Christ's birth to reconcile sinners to God, and presenting Himself as a living sacrifice such that we do not have to go through the past rituals of regular and perpetual sacrificing of offerings to atone for our sins. His arrival as the Saviour also signifies triumph over satan's plan to take people away from God. It is like the bridge that satan cut off for our communion with God is repaired (no doubt firmly!) with the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my personal preference is to call Christmas "blessed". "Blessed Christmas!" - the praise towards the remembrance of Christ who had came as human form to be our Saviour, our Messiah! So, Blessed Christmas, everybody!
