Christmas - Giving Is A Blessing
Christmas brings a new life to the believers. Much before
Christmas comes, the mood around the world changes. It is the
anticipation of lovely days ahead of giving joy, meeting friends
and family and feeling the spirit in the air that changes the
most negative person to positive moods. Chastens makes a person
different. The same man, who you never see smiling, laughs
during Christmas. That is the festive spirit of Christmas and
that is why it is a lovely festival.
The most important part of Christmas is of course celebrating
the birth of Jesus Christ. Another ritual of Christmas that
makes it so special is giving. We send so many cards to friends
and family that we lose the count. Similarly giving gifts is
very important. Selecting the right gift for everyone, wrapping
it lovingly and sending it across, all this is joyful. This joy
cannot be described in words.
As I said earlier, it is the giving that is the major reason of
happiness. If we look at our moods and behavior, we find that we
always derive greater joy in giving compared to receiving. Can
we not celebrate this spirit of giving everyday? Can we not get
this joy everyday? Can we not make someone happy everyday? We
can. With conscious effort, we can do one act a day that makes
somebody genuinely happy. Why not carry the spirit of Christmas
all the year and enjoy the happiness of giving. One is blessed
when one gives. Let us get these blessings round the year. To
