Good Morning World, it is now, 12/15/2025 and we are 10 days. from the Christmas Holiday. As people run to and fro, and get ready for the big day. There are somethings many forget about this Holiday we call Christmas. It is not about getting presents folks, it is not wheither you go to church. What is the importance of Christmas you ask then? Well, I will tell you what I think, and you can agree or disagree, but, as I always say when I write a blog, these are my opinions and thoughts and I have a right to write them.
When I was a kid, Christmas was all family in my younger days. We had Mom and Dad and siblings you see, and each Christmas Morning we would rush to see, what was ours under the Christmas Tree. We loved having a Christmas Tree, We loved being with family, and hearing the laughter and joy you see. But thats not all that Christmas means to me.
We were never rich, so we had one another, whether it was dad and mom or sister and brothers. We would always, have that person to talk to, to laugh with, to turn to for help. As time moved on the presents became less important to me. What counted was being with those who were my family. The traditions of candy and big meals, and mom and dad, rushing to the stores to get the deals. All good memories you see. It is what was important to them, not so much me.
We always got clothing and sometimes toys, then books we would get,you see. Reading became a part of me, as time went on you see. Books and stories of happiness and glories. Santa and even Reindeer you see, were all as we know, a fantasy. It is a tradition to let kids, think it is real, this Santa Claus, who gives presents, in truth it is your parents and friends, that you will love till your end.
So, during Holiday Season as they call it today,remember the basics is what I say. Remember to be Thankful for family and for friends, Remember it something to keep close each day til the end. For it is the moments of love, happiness and laughter, that makes the Holiday Season, all you are after. That lil joke dad may tell, that lil hug mom may give, that lil stare or laugh from siblings you see. It’s not about the presents or money, it’s about who is in your life you see. So, as Christmas approaches this 2025, Don’t go crazy with money, or try to out do, remember from me and for you, the best gift anyone can recieve, is you being you and me being me. Be yourself, and have fun, that’s the way life should be and Christmas should be done! Let the snow fall if it may, light the fireplaces to stay warm by, too. Put up a tree or decoration or two. Wear a smile on your face, and be friendly and nice, for Christmas Time is for the warm times and family and friends, that make each day, worth living my friends. So, from me to all of you, this 2025 Holiday Season, or Christmas whichever you call it, I prefer Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, others will say Happy Holidays. No matter what you call it, it should always be a Special Time of the year!
I have not celebrated Holidays at all since my wife passed from breast cancer in 2021. I spend them alone at home, watching tv, and make sure I have food and drink for me. I miss my wife and all we had, but the memories we created and lived thru make me smile and not sad. So, to all. I Wish All A Very Merry Holiday Season/ Christmas and New year ahead. May your Holidays be filled with laughter and cheer! May you spend it all with those, you hold dear!
Happy Holidays/ Merry Christmas !!!!!!
