CHRISTMAS- A SYMBOLIC FESTIVAL

Christmas has most often been related to SANTA CLAUS though he is fictional characters they still exists, the reason is not because the world is deceptive it’s only because the world often lives up to new hope. A new hope –a hope to see a new future and a better improved world. All those red clothes ,a sledge and reindeer or wolves ridding them in skies and SANTA depositing gifts under the Christmas trees or socks are just those little things that keep the silhouette of manifestation going on in the children’s hearts to improve their behavior  And hence, many children do write down the good things they have done all across the years, the souls they have helped, animals they have taken care off- thus Christmas is a quiet furbishing reminder to the world that though for a hundred people wanting to tear apart the world down to pieces  and render the humanity useless to its feet and cause mayhem into the life of people, there are thousands of  small children who may not seem significant in eyes of us but often do small acts of kindness that lights up the whole world. And hence its said at times a big light never lightens up all corners of the room but small-small candles eventually does.

It’s always said:                                                    

“Never underestimate your acts of kindness they are small only to you”

When I read a wonderful book by CHARLES DICKENS”A CHRISTMAS CAROL” i.e. Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge going through a life changing experience by meeting three ghosts but actually this story changed the way of American lifestyle after it emerged for the war or may it be a spell bounding story of “A LITTLE MATCHGIRL” BY HANS ANDERSON -where a poor girl watches the Christmas night, its glamour, its radiance in the cold but not a soul did stop to purchase her very cheap matches or give a piece of cloth to cover herself the next morning frost bitten she dies  and the riches and fame of the world meant nothing to her. These things eventually improved my conceptions in my mind regarding the real importance of Christmas. Likewise many people live in a plethora of riches, with cars and servants to attend to, good clothes to wear and decorate themselves and an excellent meal to satisfy their hunger; are always whining with what god has bestowed upon them and always demand more but there are hundreds who just eat their piece of cake and make merry-they thank god for what he has given them -the limitless kindness he has bestowed on them and honoured them to live a wonderful life. That is not ambitionless on the part of contended people but it’s the way of showing contention to person who gave them so much. Afterall ,

“There is enough for a man’s need but not for a man’s greed”.

Christmas has always been a festivity of fantasy for children where they have often delved in their brain about various conceptions about Santa and his gifts, but eventually things have changed. And as we say evolution and revolution are always considered as necessary parts for changes in the world. Since the Victorian Era Christmas was considered in a different sense where the festival of was more intimate where people pray ,eat, love and make merry where Christmas trees and Christmas cards had their own touch of affection amongst people but traditions change with time. Now often Christmas is about parties and bashes where people eat ,drink and enjoy like there is no tomorrow.

But always keep in mind however may the things change with coming era however might the people differ since the past time there will always be people who will love the earth and its people for what they have done for each other, may it be for loved ones or for the strangers because life never flows like a canal, its flows like a stream meeting never ending people, helping people and flowing its way to eternity .

A very wonderful Christmas carol says,

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

  

Though there will be people who claim that the world is narrowing its end with each passing day, we are reaching our doomsday but even with that impending fear of misfortune people light candles and enjoy the world to fullest. Because

“Creations are always silent and Destructions are always noisy”.

So don’t worry however might people say the world is yet to remain here and the human race is going no where.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE VARIABLY AND INVARIABLY HAVE BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE
