Las Posadas is good for MCC

Las Posada experience is a great experience not just for people at Muskegon Catholic Central, but for everyone in the community. Today, the Christmas season is covered with who can get the best present, Christmas lights, Christmas trees, and all of the greediness. People do not truly see the really meaning behind Christmas anymore. With having posada at MCC, the students and faculty can see the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus. For the Christmas season as Christians, we are supposed to be preparing for the birth of Jesus. Today, all people prepare for is there presents and their Christmas parties. We need to remind people the importance of Christmas. Posada is a great way for people to have that reminder. It reminds the people the trouble that Mary and Joseph had to go through in order to have some place for Jesus to be born. Mary and Joseph were desperate and suffering from all the walking they did. The birth of Jesus was glorious and magical. People need to start realizing this, and they need to appreciate it more. Another good reason for our class to do Las Posadas because is a great way for us to get involved and to get people aware. We are helping people become aware of the true meaning of Christmas. We are the ones showing the people and singing to the people. We are the ones showing them and presenting them the real Christmas. It is our job as Christians to make sure people are aware of the true meaning. We don’t want people to be uninformed about the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas has the word CHRIST in it. We need to start emphasizing that word during the season.
