Remarkably Peculiar Christmas in Mexico 2020

Impressible fluffy snow associates to December, who in turn associates to Christmas time.

Up North, it's common for December to shower thousands of white fluffy snowflakes. Which turn into crunchy snow! :)

Anything directly coated in snow quickly looks like it's been frozen in time.

(This is where I used to live. Not a lot of snow but enough to appreciate.)

If there's no snow, or Christmas tree, or presents, is it still Christmas?

(Can we just take a moment to enjoy the cat's paw prints. šŸ˜… )

OF COURSE IT IS!

To my surprise Mexico is slightly different though.

Instead of icy snow we have these beautiful and vivid flowers during the winter time.

(These are very typical around here.)
(Have you ever seen a tree full of gorgeous yellow flowers?)

So, if you don't need snow to celebrate Christmas, then what is Christmas?

Showing the true meaning of Christmas is the nativity scene tradition.

This wonderful tradition representsĀ the Holy Family in the manger, along with the 3 wise kings, the angel and the shepherds. Before the 25th the baby cradle is empty and waiting for the arrival of the prophesied Messiah.

Then on the 25th baby Jesus occupiesĀ the cradle, since the 25th of December is theĀ commemorationĀ of theĀ magnificent birth of the Son of God.

"ForĀ GodĀ soĀ lovedĀ the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting." - John 3:16
(This one was a life sized nativity scene!)

Christmas time is an experience that unitesĀ theĀ entire family. Yet this year is tremendously different.

Because of an unexpected virus, many this year have without a doubt, been forced to celebrate alone.

Yet is this really a bad thing? Because personally, I see that it's opened the door to a bit of needed silence.

Silence that allows for a bit of contemplation.

Contemplation on this awestriking mystery.

A mystery full of love and mercy:

The birth of Our Lord and Saviour, Christ, The King of Kings.

Hey Saplings!

For those who've read up to this point. Thank you! You've just joined me in an observation on Christmas. As I've grown older, I feel like people are losing touch on the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas is not once a year, it represents a lifestyle thatĀ should beĀ kept alive throughout theĀ year. Love others as God has shown His love to us! šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š
