What is Christmas really
about?
Besides religion and Christian
believes, Christmas is after all an international holiday and everyone celebrates it by offering gifts, spending time with beloved ones over dinner etc. This
year, my country, Lebanon, has invested a lot in Christmas decorations
including fancy lights on the roads, giant Christmas trees, food trucks
reuniting friends and families and a lot of other events. This whole Christmas
spirit made me realize something simple: Christmas is about family, but family
does not mean related by blood, it means related by heart. The purpose of Christmas
is reuniting people. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or belongs to
any other religion, whether you are black, white, yellow, red or any other
possible colors, whether you have a family or not, whether you like your family
or not, you should celebrate love with the people you appreciate the most. The
world is full of environmental, political and social problems. Humans need love
and peace at least once a year, during Christmas time under gigantic Christmas
lights and happy colors. You have the possibility to choose your family.
Do not let anything take
that love away from you. Even if you recently went through difficult and terrible issues,
begin a new year, open a new page, start a new chapter with the Christmas
spirit. Life is short, very short, Christmas is only once a year, do not let it
go. Embrace it, enjoy it and share it with the people you love, with your own definition of family.
With love,
fashiongourmande.
