The Magic of Christmas

The first Christmas you remember having is the greatest day of your life, your families is altogether, loads of presents, cookies, the magic is alive and well. But before you know it, you grow up, work in school and girlfriends take over and Christmas becomes more than an obligation, you reminded what is lost instead of what’s possible and all the trees, presents and even the mistletoe can’t change that and then when you get old you’re so desperate to get that magic back you do anything to be able to feel how you did that first Christmas.

This line stuck in my mind when I watch last week the Christmas episode of Glee. Why? It is true!

When you are young you are so excited when Christmas is about to come. Helping your mother to put on the Christmas decorations on your house. And when Christmas Eve comes you are happy when you see your family is complete in front of the table to eat your Noche Buena. Smiles are all around your face when you got your Christmas presents and some money and of course candies.

Then, teenage hit your age, girlfriends and boyfriends takes over on your heart when Christmas time is near. You have a mind boggling task on what is your Christmas gift to him or her. And when you get old you are so desperate to bring back to your heart the spirit of Christmas.

                But Christmas is really a magical word; it touches the heart of not only the young but the young ones too. Young and old alike wanted to receive and give gifts at Christmas time despite all economic crisis, people of all walks of life, tried to prepare gifts for their loved ones and friends during Christmas.

                For Christmas is really a time of giving and receiving, A time of sharing which spell just one word, a word that conquers the world, a word that makes the world go round and makes the world merry and sometimes crazy… It’s the word that is so powerful that can move mountains and makes one hearts shout with joy, this is the magic word of Christmas, the word LOVE, making Christmas magical and mysterious.
