Silent night, holy night
All is calm, and all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
If I look 10 years back into the past, the Christmas time I had as a child was too different. My sister and I used to get so excited when December arrived as kids. The humid climate would make it feel like it was snowing inside my head because it was Christmas. Stars and trees would adorn our schools. Carols everywhere. There is joy everywhere. The happiness that a person’s birth carries into this world is beyond explanation.
I used to sleep in heavenly peace then. As a kid, I knew little about what everything meant. As a young adult now, sleeping in heavenly peace appears to be nearly impossible. How much I wish I could sleep in heavenly peace again.
This Christmas season my Life seems to be easy. Or is it that I got used to it? I seem to be happy now. Or am I fooling myself again. I don't think I am fooling myself this time. This Christmas season is feels different. I feel good. I can somehow sense the peace now. I hope this Christmas will gift us all the heavenly peace each of us crave for. After all, isn't it peace and happiness that we seek?
I don’t believe money can provide me with both peace and happiness. It’s difficult to convince humans to make them believe that that money cannot buy happiness and peace. Money would not put me to sleep unless it was accompanied by alcohol or something else. Money would not allow me to purchase love in order to be happy. I’ve realized that material things will never bring me happiness or peace. Earthly beings have proven to be so moronic that they have no clue on what makes them happy. Fortunately, I am not one among them.
This Christmas I am loving myself more. This Christmas I am believing in myself more. I will never give up on myself again. I will be a better person everyday. It feels like my demons have rushed back into their caves for this Christmas. My demons are never weak. But my strength have now outgrown theirs. This Christmas I will make myself more proud. I will spread peace, love and happiness during this Christmas season.
