When winter comes, so does Christmas!

When winter comes, so does Christmas! It’s cold but it’s also fun. You can almost bite the feeling, a feeling of warmness, that sense of joy, just like an ant who has toiled long and hard just to keep itself warm and content during a very long winter ahead. I certainly feel a sense of accomplishment and although we have gone through good and bad times right through the year but the coming few weeks and months are days to feel happy and glee. Soon we will take out our thickest furs and ware our warmest shoes and although you have to brace the cold winter breeze, yet your soul is filled with the spirit of Christmas. A season enjoyed by all, irrespective of religion and believes, it unites our souls in one universal spirit and we share and make merry, we exchange gifts and we help out. As the saying goes “there is no place like home during Christmas”; many who are away from their beloved families will get ready and make plans to visit their near and dear ones. Families are occupied in prepping their house, stitching up new garments, planning for celebrations, young kids shout out with glee as they are almost done with their yearly school activities and it’s time for them to have fun to the fullest and not have to worry about studies for at least a couple of months. Every corner shop has signs and decorations of their fondness of the season; you can hear Christmas bells ringing, carol singing, market place booming with activity. People buying Christmas trees, Christmas cakes fills up the bakers shop e and although it’s cold outside, not snow or a cold breeze can stop people from coming out and visiting their families and dear ones. It’s a time for joy, a time to rejoice and a time to be happy, a time to forget all our differences, a time to put an end to any arguments and make peace with your fellow men and most importantly with one self.
I hope this winter brings out the best in all of us and although I will be missing not being home for Christmas this time around, I will surely remember everyone and what it’s like to be home for Christmas. So until Christmas, enjoy the winter and Happy Holidays.
