So the Christmas season is upon us. Now i have to admit, i have been feeling the "Christmas Spirit" since about a month ago. I know that seems pretty early considering i am a Hindu and i had Divali to look forward to, but even though i am not Christian, i absolutely love Christmas. Other than Divali, it's my favourite time of year. Even though i am a Hindu, i would consider myself more as a spiritual person than religious. I accept all religions and i believe that all have some truth to them. I believe that there is a higher power regardless of what any of us choose to call him, or her... hey u never know :)
Christmas just brings a warm, fuzzy feeling over me. I love giving gifts, especially gifts that i know the person will like. It doesn't matter what i get, but it's such a nice feeling when the person opens the gift and their face just lights up. That's why i like birthdays too. But i know that's not what Christmas is completely about. It's a time to be thankful and to celebrate the birth of Christ, and the same way the three wise men brought gifts to baby Jesus, so too we give gifts to others.
My one wish for right now is that just as i have the Christmas Spirit flowing through me, i wish that everyone in the world can feel the same as i have been feeling for the past couple of weeks, then it would mean that everyone was happy and filled with warmth and love. If only this could really happen... i can only hope.
I am eagerly anticipating Christmas and New Years also. Yes i know some people are sad when the year ends because they don't know what trouble lies ahead in the upcoming year, but the way i look at it is, you never know what absolutely fantastic things are stored either. Last year taught me alot of things and this year has taught me even more, so i can only imagine what next year will teach me. Whatever comes my way next year, i know that i have great family and really great friends and i hope that if all else changes, the relationship i have with them remains constant... Yes Vladez, you're included :)
