I hate this new "Christmas"

Well readers, as I said, in this blog you will find posts related with a lot of things, and at this time I have decided to write about Christmas.

I was thinking about create a post related with a lot of good things about Christmas. However, I thought, thought and thought and I couldn't find anything to post. This is because at the present time, Christmas and materialism are synonymous. People only cares about receiving gifts.

Christmas is not about buying gifts, or decorating trees, or watching Christmas movies, or listening Christmas music. No! That isn't Christmas! Christmas is about loving and caring about our fellows. It's about seeing that we can contribute for a better world. And, like Christians, is about remember that Jesus was born on this day and he came to the world to save us...Not to give us a new shirt or a new toy...

Regarding Christmas cards, my dear reader, a card is a piece of paper with some drawings and words on it. Remember that when you buy it there were another twenty cards exactly equals like yours... I mean, your are giving something that is not really special. A buyed piece of paper never can describe what you feel by someone.

This Christmas, instead of give a toy to your son, a shirt to your father, or any material thing to someone, think about give a big hug, about tell how important is that person for you...In that moment, you will see a big smile, you will feel much better and, my dear reader, you will have understood the true meaning of Christmas.

Merry Christmas
