when the priest was doing the homily earlier, i did not really like the way he was doing it.
he made it sound that going to mass nowadays is becoming a habit rather than a devotion or a preparation for the celebration for the birth of christ.
the homily was revolving around this idea.
maybe for me, it sounded as though he was generalizing that is why i did not like it.
but despite my annoyance for this priest's way of homily, i was able to get and understand a part of his homily that would really define christmas for me.
these were not his exact words but merely the gist of it.
"christmas is swallowing my pride, knowing the people who are eating with me on the table, repenting for my sins and renewing my way of living"
simple but it hit me because i admit, it was "close to home"
