wow, Christmas

Since today is Christmas day, let's talk about it. In about another half an hour or so, Christmas would officially be a yesterday thing. So why? Why the great emphasis on festivals and such? Do we actually celebrate it for it's origin?

Or do we take this opportunity to feast, splurge and party without guilt, with the constant reminder that it's a day for celebration? But then again, no, so many out there are just partying away and celebrating without a reason(or maybe because it's a public holiday? Who knows.) They do not commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ and many out there who claim that they're "celebrating" Christmas, barely even know his story or believe in him.

It's the season for giving, or so they say.

Nowadays, people give just for the sake of giving because it's always been a tradition to give. Sadly, most of these do not come from their hearts but from their pockets, literally. Everything is so superficial now. It's always the thought that counts when giving, but now, it's the value that matters.

Personally, I'd say that nothing beats the thought. Cause material stuff can be easily obtained anytime. But what comes from the heart, is truly, priceless. People get so flustered and panicky days before Christmas, crossing out their list and preparing their gifts. Is that really so important? Are days like today so special? No, isn't it just any ordinary day? Why the fuss.

Shouldn't it just be a gathering with your family, having a table of nice food, talking, laughing and enjoying? My Christmas was very uneventful too. But did I complain? No. It's just really weird that people actually say things like "Oh gosh, it's Christmas and I'm feeling so down." Well, if it was any other day, you'd still be complaining about it so what makes today such a great deal.

Well, get over it.

Really people, I'd give so much to receive what comes from the heart. It's always the most valuable.

Till then.
