Just an hour ago I was still assuming Christmas is all bout fireworks, Log cakes with thick chocolate icing, yearly volcano ice-cream, and tonnes of shopping. Not forgetting hours of parties accompanied by the exquisite taste of wine burning your throat. That was christmas and I am very sure most of you had plans that involved partying or spending time shopping or drooling over the christmas tree with your presents.
I was strolling in the mall doing my window shopping while clinging on to my daddy. Later i saw this serene atmosphere with white christmas trees around a dancing ballerina and a unicorn. Something drawn me towards the little heart-shaped cards and I just snapped. All of you must be wondering what is that? What is so special? Let me tell you that those are wishes of the unfortunate. Those wishes they asked for was simple and sincere. At least most of them. Story books, Clothes, Shoes, Remote control car, diapers, and Bible. Look at us kids nowadays. A 3 year old screaming the head off for an I-Pad. Girls running on designer heels but still sulked because they dont have a Louis Vuitton. What is this people? Be grateful for what you have and with that i knew what is the true meaning of christmas.
Christmas is about spending your time with your family, appreciating what you have and thanking god. So people, the main purpose I am writing this is because I seriously hope that you will help. Just simply wrap your present and place it in the gift box. People need help. Stop being so selfish and blind because Christmas is all about awareness and kindness. Help the one in need. This action might seem small and ridiculous but believe me this is a life changing experience. Be grateful of your life and be happy that you still have your family. Appreciate them eventhough sometimes they might seem annoying.
Merry Christmas everyone
