Our parents have prepared a piece of roast chicken for each of us in Christmas when we were young. It was good enough for us. No Christmas tree, Christmas presents or other ornaments. We were in poverty compared with other families. But we have never felt of that even in Christmas. My brother told me the atmosphere of Christianity had prevented us from being tormented from the poverty. I have added to him that our hope for the future surpassed the emotion of poverty.
Christmas at present is far from what it has meant in Christianity but turned to be a universal festivity to welcome spring after the wintersolstice is gone. No complaints about it at all. I would say Merry Christmas to every one whatever religion or ideology he/she may have. Our earth turns toward warm and fertile spring soon. Originally, the concept of Christmas has born with the idea of Christianity together of the local religion.
Getting older, I feel even more that we should celebrate it as they do. Not gremacing at the fuss and mess. So let's shout loudly Merry Christmas to everyone and heavenly relief to those struggling hardship or illnesses.
