Hang over from merry making during Christmas parties and left and right reunion is over; gifts were open,some surprise you but most frustrate you after getting what you do not want; 9 morning mass culminated, you can sleep now longer and normal; soon, cheap Christmas lights or expensive Christmas trees and decors that eat ample amount in your budget will be stored for a year again; you are poor again after consuming all bonuses and 13th month pays. What these things says?Christmas is over.
The idea of celebrating Christmas is one of the most exciting things i love to think of. Indeed, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year as famous song suggests. Why not, this is the only holiday you can not think of anything than all the good things you can think of;parties, gifts and reunions are Pinoy's favorite. On the contrary, the idea of December 26 made me sick. Life backed to normal. The celebration started 9 days before that very day,moreover, nurtured 4 long months is over. What is next?
I came to think that maybe we celebrated Christmas on the 12th month in our calendars and end of the week is for us to start new again. Though i refuse to accept story claiming that Christ's birth is not December, that the celebration we use to and to our ancestors million years ago is not the exact date as it really took. If it holds truth, then i would still salute to the one who introduced Christmas on December 25th.
Why? Simply, imagine after that celebration if it is being commemorated in July? Or any other months apart from December? December is the best month to celebrate Christmas since even end of Christmas made me sick the next event will happen exact one week after is the new year. New year encourage us to start again; start making people happy around us and do the kindness we use to do or start again new way of life, the kind of life we wanted after a failed attempt of living best the previous 365 days.
It is the right time to start again and to look forward for next Christmas season.
