When I was little I liked the Christmas lights, trees, gifts, the bustle of family gatherings.
As a teenager I liked the gifts, the bustle, a little less family gatherings and a little more getting out to dance and get drunk.
stage in my youth was still nice to receive gifts and a little less cute madness of recent days to buy gifts for everyone, think about spending some money for the powerful but make beautiful gifts and agreement to what each person liked, it was quite stressful ... Family meetings and returned to like the fact drunk too.
Celebrating Christmas was also celebrated sense because the birth of Jesus. Since I am no more the sense that religion is for me to celebrate is the fact of having a party, the bustle, of being "happy" family, extended family, including uncles, cousins, grandparents .. .
As the bustle of the family was the meaning of Christmas for me, when I could not have it in the holidays I spent Christmas in Rome almost felt lost in recent years. To me it sounds very odd to say "Merry Christmas", in fact I do not generally respond to those I wish.
But Christmas means Birth is a beautiful meaning ... ... the BIRTH is about life and at this point in my life at the birth of my daughter is cool in my soul these words are strong echo in me.
why I need and want friends Christmas
found a poem and an article about Christmas that I liked so much was the gift.
words of Friedrich Rittelmeyer
If we celebrate a Christian Christmas,
must live in us a shepherd and a king.
A pastor who knows how to listen to what others do not hear.
That, with all the forces of worship,
lives under the starry sky.
Whom angels may want revealed.
and a king who knows how to give.
Not only is guided by the star of the stage.
That sets off for offer up all their gifts at the manger.
But in addition to a shepherd and a king,
must live in us a child
now wants to be born.
And now transcribe the article:
Interior Christmas
Laura Gutman
The holidays have become a grueling race of massive purchases of computers , cell phones, digital cameras, i-phone, i-pod, and the occasional plastic toy from such technology.
Major are invited to the party credit cards, which are bleeding in their quest to fill all empty of meaning. Until the cows eat, we discuss which part of the family spend the holidays, we open the gifts among children crying ... and ended up overflowing evicted after the terrible marathon.
More profoundly, every December we share the ritual of remembering a simple and unique experience: the story of a mother who went through his delivery in the midst of nature, from their goats, donkeys and oxen, covered by a man named Joseph.
According to some texts, Joseph went looking for the midwife but when it came, Jesus was born. Woman looking at the scene said: "This newly born child and takes her mother's breast, will become a man judged by the love and not according to law."
This beautiful creature was received in a sacred atmosphere, heat-stable and under the ecstasy of the loving care of his mother. Two thousand years later we are still celebrating the birth of a child in good condition and revere the miracle of life.
Thinking well, Christmas should be the occasion to pay tribute to every new birth of babies cared for and cherished. These children will become a generation of men and women who bring wisdom and inner peace to human beings. Therefore, we decide if we care so much feeding frenzy to continue consuming nothing, or if it's time to bring some clarity, support and love for every woman ready to give birth, nurturing the future.
and well .. I was born ... what I do ... I wish ...
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
