CHRISTMAS AND HAPPINESS


It’s the most wonderful time of the year once again!

For some, they celebrate it with their relatives while others like to celebrate it with their own family. It’s Christmas time. Little kids are excited to open their gifts while their parents and other relatives are enjoying their cup of coffee while preparing the food. This is the time to be happy and grateful for all the blessings that we had for the whole year. We should not let hatred and selfishness rule over happiness. As the Christmas song goes, “Tis the season to be jolly!”

It does not matter if we don’t receive any gifts. Material things can only bring us temporary happiness. We just need to thank God that we are alive and we should pray for everyone a happy Christmas. There are many people who cannot afford to buy delicious food for their Noche Buena but they don’t need those delicious foods to be happy. If their family is complete, they are happy despite of their condition in life. For them, family matters the most.

Christmas is also the time to relax. We should keep off work for a while for us to enjoy the holidays. Our Christmas vacation may be disrupted by putting work before our relaxation time. Time to lay off those works, people!

                It’s only two days before Christmas. Aren’t you excited? Don’t the Christmas songs playing on the radios and the countdown to Christmas by TV networks give you the feeling of joy? Even the little kids on your neighborhood are starting to get into the Christmas feeling by singing Christmas carols from house to house. And every family has decorated their house for the Christmas. It has always been that way.

                Finally, we should always remember that it’s always better to give than to receive. There are many people who are in need. We should share our old clothes and toys, and we could also donate food for them. Everyone must be happy this coming Christmas. It’s the time of the year when we have to give something which would make people happy. Don’t be selfish. If we could help poor families, then help them. It’s a time for equality.

                Enjoy the holidays!
