I don't really have any right to question how people tend to act this days, but I guess I couldn't help but to voice out such disappointment on what has happened recently. This happened on the 23rd of December, just 2 days before the big event of Christmas. I won't mention names here for it is useless to do so.
I am really appreciative how this season unites everybody specially the family. Families that can't be personally together but are united by their hearts. I admit that I look forward for the season's festivity and traditions but come on, it ain't only the reason to celebrate, right?
As I was saying, I received a very unusually text in which states that submitting of the presents for her was only due to December 23. The hell, since when did the so-called season obtained such due date for presents?! Another thing is, as I was busying myself with facebook, playing the usual stuff, somebody just sent me a pm, greeting an advance merry Christmas and is demanding a gift from me. Since when did the simple greeting came off with a price of a gift?! Somehow, a reality bumped me.
People may not notice it but, people tend to get more and more materialistic this days. They forget that the reason for the incoming celebrationis worth more than that. It's not just all about the gifts and the food. It's more than that; it's the intangible things you can barely imagine. They can come off many but this are the so called reasons. Values that not only our parents has taught us, but most of all the model we follow towards. That model is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the reason for this festivity. We must not forget that it's his birthday and we must not overlook it. :)
