The true reason behind those gifts, parties, and money

Santa Claus: oh? anung probelma Jesus?
Jesus: ah wala naman...
Santa Claus: hehe...Happy Birthday nga pala :)
Jesus: salamat ah...naiinggit lang kasi ako sayo
Santa Claus: sakin? bakit naman?
Jesus: kasi tuwing birthday ko ikaw nalang lagi ang inaabangan ng lahat. :)




I was browsing thru tumblr, I saw this picture and I was like "OMG! So true!". People, especially the kids, forget the true meaning and reason for Christmas. Every Holidays, everyone would be excited about the parties, the gifts, and the money, but not for Jesus. Kids are the ones who are most excited for Christmas. They would stay late just to see Santa Claus, but I bet they don't wanna even delay bedtime for 5 mins just to pray.


Santa Claus and Me
I've never believed in Santa even as a child. I don't know, maybe because my parents don't tell me stories about Santa and I only hear them on television. I was a little a confuse then on what to believe, either if he's real or not. Now that I'm all grown up, I don't really really REALLY believe in Santa.


Well, I am not saying that we should blame the parents for imposting the Santa Claus thing on their kids, but they are really the ones telling stories about him. They want their kids to believe in Santa, but I think they're forgetting to tell stories of Jesus- the true reason behind those gifts, parties, and money.

I am not saying that you should hate Santa. I am not saying that you should forget all about him. What I'm trying to say is WE ARE FORGETTING THE TRUE MEANING OF THE SEASON. I think people have become more materialistic now. Waiting for Santa, for their gifts like wtf!

I am wishing for parents that as they tell stories about Santa, they should tell more stories about Jesus. :)
