Christmas--United we all stand
In a midst of a Holiday season, Emotions run thru so many different people like a tide wave. And as i sit back, feeling like an outsider who wind up looking thru the window of life, Watching others as they express their feelings...feelings of loneliness, sadness, desperation, trouble, and yes Mr/Ms. Ba Humbug. Finally after a long period of watching others, I couldn't help myself but to utter the words "What's wrong". For some the answer was "I hate Christmas".
~Hate~~ such a strong word. A word of destruction. A word that can ruin someone life, A word that can consume heart. These past few days, As the Christmas spirit began to decent with its wings of glory...and sprinkle its magic from state to state, across the vast ocean, creeping from country to county...from the tops of the highest mountain, soaring to the lowers valley below, Covering the world like a blanket of snow. A time where for once in our life...we can all actually put our trouble aside...Because thru out the year, Our body took the beating of a life time. We all come together....every human being from all sort of places, all nationality, race, religion. Men, women and child and even as far as our pets. Come together to Celebrate (what so many believe to be a Ba Humbug celebration) a moment of unity, a moment of harmony, A moment when we all are sprinkle with the pure delight of togetherness. And i tell myself...How wonderful it is...that for once...the whole entire world can actually come together as one. A time of love, of peace, A time where we can say to one another. May the joy of Christmas, Bless you and your love ones.
Yet I stumble on to People who say....(Ba Humbug!!!) Christmas is so commercialize. Christmas is not like it use to be. or for that matter. I can't wait for this to end. Yes, END. So, I sat back and analyzed it all and i remember the words that ran thru my mind, saying, Christmas is not commercialize, its how you wish to see it. Christmas can be like it use to be, if you let it. And to say ..."I can't wait for this to end"...well all i can say...is be careful what you wish for.
It's amazing how people feel when they hear a Christmas carol, We don't hear it all year round....yet when the holidays are near and the Christmas carol begins to sing us a lovely tune...we turn the other way...and say....OH GOD!!! take that stuff off ..or shut the radio off, Or lets leave this store, they are playing Christmas carols again and it making me sick to my stomach. So i ask...what is so wrong in hearing the song...Silent night...what is so wrong in listening several other Christmas songs at all. Is it the fact, that we don't wish to remember the birth of our beloved Child who was born in a stable? The one that so many turn to when they encounter trouble in their life, and the first thing of their mouth is "God if you do this for me, I'll do anything you ask of me" .....The child who was born and gave us the miracle of all. The miracle where peace to all mankind can come together in harmony..and i mean all mankind from all parts of the world. Just for one moment in the year.
We ourselves (pointing the finger to ourselves) make this holiday season commercialize...not the TV, not the Radio not the store dept. It is us...the ones who's words escape their lips and say....Sheesh how commercialize this has become.
Christmas is not about giving each other presents, gifts. dear God that's not what Christmas is all about. Christmas is about unity, togetherness and yes love. We need to get off the pot with sit on...and shut our mouths...and stop criticizing each other, stop criticizing the symbol of Christmas. This is what's wrong with this world. We are so quick to point the finger at anyone, at anything. Just to justified our actions.
I think of those Men and Women Trying to fight a war, and yes ...a senseless war, Just so that we the people...who are soooooooo comfortable at home, Criticizing every actions, every comment, every simple thing in life, just so they can make others and love one...feel miserable as they are. I think of the ones who have no place to go, no family, some hungry, some sick, some homeless....yet we have the nerves to still criticized. And i wonder who die and made us God to actually condemn others or for that matter the criticized the meaning of what Christmas is truly suppose to be.
I rather put my arms around you, holding you tight, letting the warmth of my embrace engulf your heart with kindness, love, joy and for that single moment, tell you how much your presence means to me. I want to be able to tell you, This is our time to actually say what the magical moment of the season means to me...I want to be able to tell you...this is the time where we can actually hold hands and forget what the year has brought us, how we are there for one another no matter what the out come might be....how we came this far...how we are the luckiest ones to actually be able to feel the warmth of Christmas. How we were chosen to actually rejoice in this festivity. And how we the people can actually spread this magical moment to all who need us...shedding a piece of magic to those who are less fortunate. How we are not alone.
So before you can utter the words...I hate this holiday, or i wish i was not here, or for that matter...thank god is over. Think again, really, stop in your track..and actually do some soul searching. You are the one still breathing, you are the one who can have a warm plate of food, you are the one that can walk to any destination, you are the one that can actually hear the sound of music, you are the one that can visualize the beauty of the world, you are the one who are the one that can actually pick up a pen and paper and write, read, speak. We see a million face in our journey of life. What does a simple smile, a hug, or the words "I Thank God that i was able to see another Christmas come and go...and you were able to give some one who felt there was no way out in their life a warm feeling of belonging. Remember, its not the gift/present.....its your presence that makes a difference. We are all place on this planet for a purpose. And even dough you weren't home for the holidays or your family didn't come over....just remember...where you're standing now..in the midst of someone else....in the midst of somewhere else is where you were chosen to be...you were there to spread the spirit of Christmas, the one you felt back then and able to share it with someone else....That is truly the gift of Christmas. The one we all call priceless, In sharing ourselves with others in this truly wonderful time of the season...
You'll probably say....its should be that way all year around....granted your right....but than again...there we go again....criticizing again....Let just stop for one moment of our busy schedule...you know the one....the one where we say....oh when i have some time...I'll call you...when i have some time...we're do something together....or let see what day i have off ..and pencil you in...or the one that say....I'm sorry...was to busy doing other stuff that needed to be done. I think you and i know this to well..and fully understand how times seem to pass within our reach. We all been there, done that...and even have the T-shirt to show for...
And granted i fully understand that we have situation in our life that we wish things were different....
But if we for once humble ourselves...and stop swimming in our self pity, cos we ourselves don't want to see how bless we truly are. Than we ourselves should remain quiet, and not give others our darkness , god knows they don't need to feel those kind of vibes from us.
Let rejoice, lets dance, lets give thanks to God, for the blessing we truly have.
and in that note....
I wish all my family, friends, and my live journal friends
A Blessed Merriest Christmas, May the Lord continue to bless your life
May The new Year bring you joy and happiness and most of all peace and love
Let us unity together, hold hands...and share in each others blessing
I love you all
and sending you a warm loving hugssssss...from the bottom of my heart...*smiles warmly*
