Christmas time

Hey! It's Christmas time! But... what does Christmas time mean for people?

Everybody reacts in a different way when it arrives this time of the year. For some people, Christmas time means having to work hard from early in the morning until lately at night to collect some money to be able to buy some presents for the family or for themselves. Others just wait until these days to see the family members all together, on those routine lunches which seem to have no end. On the other hand, there are also the ones who simply don’t like Christmas holidays because they can also be stressful and even they can be considered as a waste of time or (obviously) money.

However, the general perception of Christmas holidays is the one which all the movies portrait and in fact, all the medias. This is the one where streets are full of lights and everybody is outside home in the afternoon and they meet together at home when it gets dark, close to the big fireplace that someone prepared hours before.

In my opinion, Christmas time or Christmas holidays, is a time when I can meet friends that I haven’t seen for a long time, because all of us have more time; it’s a time when I can celebrate things that I probably didn’t give as many importance as they have; it’s a time when I get close to my relatives (due to those family lunches I’ve mentioned before); a time when I decide to tidy up my room because I’ve got no space to put new things (but it’s just an excuse not to recognize it’s a little bit untidy); a time when my brother and I spent more time together because we have to prepare some extra surprise presents for our parents and even we help each other with the new presents … All of these moments and little things, are the ones which make me feel happy when it arrives Christmas time, although there are always negative parts of it, like having to spent many time doing homework because teachers made us do it (they think the word “holidays” means having more time, but it’s not true! More time doesn't mean more things done because we have more things to do)  or having to clean the house more often.

Anyway, that’s my personal opinion about Christmas :)
And now, I wish all of you a really good Christmas holidays. And, as today it’s the 31^st of December, I also wish you: Happy New Year!

Enjoy the night as I will try to do ;)
