Essence of Christmas

What is the first thing that comes to your mind if we are talking about Christmas? For me the first thing that comes to my mind is all about gifts,when I was a kid,when the Christmas is near I was very excited because I know that I will be receiving again gifts from my ninongs and ninangs.But the years past I now realized that not only gifts is the real meaning of Christmas.The essence of Christmas is all about love and sharing,give love on Christmas day and its time to us to forgive and make peace with our enemy.
