Blog 7 Christmas

I do think about the real meaning of Christmas, It supposed to be a time for celebrate a catholic festivity, the birth of Jesus. But today is a time for consumerism and pre-built expectations of a false happiness. All based on what the media thinks that we have to think.
I think that the Christmas tree is optional; it depends of your taste and beliefs.
I usually enjoy Christmas time, because after all is a time for be together with your family, eat together and celebrate together. I think it’s cool because for once my family tries to be more peaceful (barely reaches that goal).
There’s some things that I don’t like, for example, the over-importance that we give to the gifts and the food, when in the beginning of this celebration, everything was humble. We usually fall in the consumerism (influenced by the media).
I think that some people doesn’t like Christmas because maybe they have bad memories of the celebration, or maybe they are more radicals about the unimportance of Christmas as we know today.
I don’t think that my attitude in Christmas time is different, because I’m always trying to be a good person (when I can).
As I said before, I think that Christmas it’s just too much commercialized, principally because of the media influence.
I think that is not an obligation give gifts, but you can give not necessarily a material gift: usually the love and care are things that everybody needs but not everybody receives.
I don’t plan to make expensive gifts because I’m poor (of money).
I don’t donate things to charity. I don’t give things to homeless people: I think this is what I have to change.
