Christmas

Christmas! I love it; and no. When I think about the meaning of Christmas I remember the history that I have read about it. I remember the Christian meaning of this celebration and the important for a lot of people. I think in the Sun celebration by the old time people. But principally I think in the hope message for the people by God, expressed in the born of Jesus. The message of love, faith and humanitarianism. And this makes me sad. When I remember the big quantity of hunger people in the world, the lot of poor that we can see near to us, in our city streets. Well, Christmas it’s a time to reflection and to dream that a better world can be possible.

I think the Christmas tree it’s important because is the symbol of the celebration. Obviously this don’t remember to us the Christian message but in the contemporary this is the symbol, the “flag” of Christmas; and principal the children dream all the year for the time when the trees will appear. I think that the manger is better, but I think not all the people it’s Christian too; and I think the message for love It’s for all the world, not only for Christianity.

I like Christmas a lot, I enjoy it. I know many people don’t enjoy it; I Think this can be for religious believes and some doctrines; other because only take the negative side by Christmas or because they think this it’s a commercial party. I think it too, I think that Christmas are a commercial celebration, but not principally; we must remember Christmas was celebrated before the modern capitalism and all the commercial system has been created. And you can have a nice Christmas without presents and without expensive material things. You can be ok if you past a good time with the people that you love.

If I could, I’d do all the people that go crazy buying material things, turn off this rhythm and take other way, to past the time with the people and don’t spending much money, because the money don’t make happy.
