Christmas is for Children

I have to admit, as I grow old my enthusiasm and excitement towards Christmas is not that high compared to what I felt when I was still young. And I remember one song that says, “Christmas is for children..and the feeling young”…

I find myself contemplating on this and why children and the feeling young are the most happy folks during Christmas. And as my son enters his toddler years, I have somehow solved my own problem.

Christmas is a joyous time of the year, a time of bliss and giving and receiving. And God spared children from feeling the hardships of life, stress and world’s cruelty. And if you have kids, you will feel young.

As I received my girlfriends’ gifts for my son and as I help my son unwrap his gifts, it felt as though I was the one receiving them. The twinkle in his eyes when he saw the top or the glittering book is a magical moment..

So here I am telling myself, for once be a child and be at peace…

Merry Christmas everyone!
