My earliest memory of Christmas is me, at three or four, sleeping in my room on Christmas Eve. Just before I nodded off, my mother told me a Christmas story about Joseph, Mary and the birth of Christ. I fell asleep in her arm and the next morning, I woke up and Santa Claus had brought me my first Nintendo system and the games that came with it. I was probably seven or eight at that time. I was so elated that I ran to my parent and gave them the biggest hugs anyone could ask for. If I asked you to stop reading for a minute and think about the best Christmas gift that you ever received, there is a good chance that you will think of something that made you happy and it doesn't have to be the expensive gifts.
Looking back, I realized that the best thing about Christmas is that we have an opportunity to experience that special feeling, that feeling where we cherish the memories and feelings of Christmas with family and friends. What defines Christmas is the kinder heart of people who are generous and more forgiving during this time of the year and it is a rare opportunity where everything get to be perfect for one day, because it is perfect time to remember our blessings. Christmas is bigger than anything, because we get to celebrate the birth of Christ. The reason we have Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ. If we did not have Christ, we would not have, a forever life. Merry Christmas everyone and be blessed.
