Losing It
The joy of Christmas occurs once every year. Unfortunately, it seems that as the years pass by, the enthusiastic ; joyous spirit slowly starts to wane. I reminisce about the good ol' times I used to have at my family's usual Christmas gathering. I was just a green child then. I'd look forward for the clock to strike 12, then us kids would scramble to the huge christmas tree(I was small and christmas trees were tall), hunting for the beautifully-wrapped presents that decorated our names. I recall being thoroughly elated. Mother Earth back then was not imbued with disasters and tragedies. Mother Earth was rid of cynical psychopathic humans who seek joy within the realms of torment. We merely wanted to have Rosemary turkey and champagne together with our loved ones ; Christmas carols softly playing in the background.
It is unfortunate that as we step further into the millenium, catalytic events start to populate. Who's concern is it that Jesus our saviour was born on the 25th of December. Who bothers that Christmas is all about giving and learning how to love. All i receive is probably invitations to have a "good" night out at the clubs - with the purpose to make merry and hook up with someone "hot" in that moment of lust and folly. Christmas does not suck my dear friend, YOU made it look like rotten eggs. YOU ridicule the true spirit of Christmas and mock the intentions of why Christmas is celebrated worldwide. YOU only care that you will return to your sleepy hollow with a handfull of wrapped parcels. Those who don't appreciate the joy of Jesus's birth should not adhere to the custom of exchanging gifts. Christmas shall not be used as a reason to get hitched or blindly exchanging gifts just because you read up on Santa Claus and his escapades as a kid.
Working extra shifts to earn that extra dough on the Christmas season depicts such a ghastly picture. "Sorry I can't attend so-and-so's party because I'm strapped for cash and the public holiday pays well." Give me a break and give yourself one too. I doubt Jesus would be enthralled to know that instead of spiritually celebrating his birthday with him, you are working your ass off not to donate more tithes to church but to fill up your own pockets. Grandma told me that certain members of the family are unable to attend this year's Christmas party. I abhor the thought that people are slowly losing it to the financial stress that the devil had incurred in the society. Once you start to break tradition, the glass will never be clear again ; scratches are all you'll leave. Its not that I'm desperate to have a view of the whole family's face, its just that you can never predict when tragedy strikes and the chances of the once-blissful-gathering will vanish forever.
In this uncertain world, we can expect the unexpected. Deter yourself before the milk is spilt. A life impaled on regrets is certainly not worth living.
