Christmas is in the offing; the Christmas spirit is befalling. That blissful time of the year is here again and it is getting better every year. For me, that is. As a Christian, the presents, Christmas tree, snow and Santa Claus don’t signify Christmas; not in the least bit. Christmas to me is in celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and the greatest gift of all to all of mankind -the gift of Jesus’ Love…which many neglect during Christmas albeit it is the main focus. We should focus.

Nevertheless, in the tradition of Christmas, I practice several customs; like gift-giving. This has always been a problem for me because I don’t have sufficient money to get gifts for everyone due to certain reasons I won’t divulge. Ergo, I usually purchase presents for my family only, unfortunately.

One important thing about giving is to not expect anything in return. Giving becomes true joy the most when it comes from the heart and without any expectations. I learnt this the hard way but am glad I did.

Another Christmas tradition I cultivate is the red-green theme for some ironic and completely oafish reason. And that’s all I’m going to say about it.

If you don’t receive a (materialistic) gift for Christmas, feel sad about it and are aged <10, you can ask Santa for a letter or phone call here. However, if you don’t receive a (materialistic) gift for Christmas, feel sad about it and are aged >11, please don’t do it. (Santa doesn’t exist, dearie.)

I forgot to introduce myself. I abhor pizza. There you go. Oh, and I’m the youngest contributor to this site so please forgive me for my non-insightful musings.

P/S: I am fully aware that the correct term is Seasons Greetings. That typo must have been the keyboard’s fault. Or not.

Merry Christmas! And Seasons Greetings! In advance! Ho ho ho-

I’ll leave now.
