What is Christmas really about?
“For my family it’s about giving and being grateful, and let’s not forget to spread the love”-Scarlet Holvenstot. “Christmas is about getting together with my family and having a good time”-Mr.Fritsch. We have lost the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas should be about giving rather than Santa Claus and presents, and these people realize what it is really about, but not everyone knows that. Whether you are religious or not, Christmas must be important to you. I believe that it should be about being thankful for what you have. We should be grateful for what we have and give to those in need. That is the true meaning of Christmas. Why are we so focused on receiving gifts? We are so selfish. I know that I have fallen subject to this before. But now as I have grown older I realize that we should be grateful and think about all the things we have rather than the things we need. Charles Dickins says this about Christmas, “I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.” Remember what you’re grateful for.
