The Three Wise Men

Why are they called wise men? The three wise men journeyed a long distance and abandoned their household for Christ. There are many people who are bothered when the Christmas time is come. There are several people do not know that Christ is the thought for the season. They exactly commemorate X-mas not Christmas. What is X-mas? X are stands for "UNKNOWN". In X-mas "X" has alternated Christ or Christ is crossed-out. This implies that Christ is a mistake (for X stands for error). X-mas is like celebrating a Birthday without the Celebrant. Several people the celebration is more important than the Person to whom the celebration is for. Many people celebrate a Christmas where Christ is absent. For some people what is important is what they can get out of Christmas. The common understanding of X-mas is getting. The true meaning of Christmas is giving. X-mas makes people selfish, self-centered. "Where's my gift?" "Pinaskuhan nako beh?" is the common greeting. X-mas means anything that can replace Christ in Christmas. Sta. Claus, shopping, Christmas trees, Christmas decorations, drinking, partying, eating, etc. The meaning of Christmas is lost in X-mas. The question is "What are you celebrating every December? X-mas or Christmas? They were wise because they knew that Jesus was the Reason for the Season, Christ is Christmas. I believe they were wise because it was Christ they were looking for. They were not looking for worldly riches, but for the salvation of their souls! December is Maninoy-Hunting Season. We should rather be looking for Christ. We should be looking for the Salvation of our Souls and those of our loved ones. The three wise men were wise because they knew that Christmas is a time of worship. They were wise because they knew whom to worship.
