CHRISTMAS FOR SALE...!!


                              
                                People are very excited when they talked about Christmas. They do lots of preparation and lots of planning to make their Christmas day perfect and enjoyable. We can say that it is very nice to know that even we feel the economical crisis, people still try their best to make Christmas memorable to each of them but, is this enough to say that we, people, know the real meaning of Christmas? Do we need to spend lots of money just to feel the spirit of Christmas? Are parties, decorations and greeting cards are the only thing that can make our Christmas perfectly done? What does Christmas means to us? These are the questions that  comes to my mind everytime I celebrate Christmas day. When Sir Hector gave the title, "Christmas For Sale" to our essay, those questions demands more deeper explanation for me. At first, I encounter trouble in myself to find something that can help me to construct my essay that's why I do some research about this thing. And that research helps me so much about it.

                                Christmas is designed for us people to celebrate the birth day of  Jesus Christ. This is celebrate in the 25th day of  December.Christmas were more appreciated by the Christians because they accepted that it is the exact date were Jesus Christ were born.  At this moment, people in the whole world do different kinds of celebratory customs to show how they appreciate the coming of Jesus Christ or what we called the "Christmas Day". Some of the customs people usually do are making greeting cards, creating decorations like Lanterns and Christmas Tree, preparing special meals for the family and also to the expected visitors who will join the family and many more. There were also people who are fond in giving gifts to the street children and people who are in needs. When Christmas day comes, most of the people try their best to come to their family and celebrate it together. Sometimes, Christmas day is the only way how family become complete. Young children are the happiest human when Christmas day comes, because of the presents they will receive from their parents, godparents and other adults in the family. There were also some children who go house-to-house to sing some Christmas carols and as a prize, the owner of the house will give them some candies or coins. There where also places conduct parties and exchange gifts together with the neighborhood.

                               For me, the most important thing about Christmas is to know how to love. Love our family, love our friends, love our special someone, love ourselves and love our enemies. Once we feel the love in our hearts, we will know how to care, how to share and how to forgive. It is also the opportunity for us to thank all the people who always at our sides to support us all the time and also who cares and loves us in all the time and most of all, to thank GOD from all the blessings that we received through out the time. It is pleasant to know that we will celebrate the Christmas day without anger in our hearts. The most beautiful gift that we can give is to show to our love one's how happy we are to have them in our life. Maybe words are not enough to let them feel how are we thankful to have them, still, let us tell them that we love them. Especially today, we really need the spirit of Christmas not only on December 25 but also in everyday that we wake up. We need to spread the love to everyone and feel peace all the time. Lets stop the abuse, the violence, the anger, the discrimination and all the negative feelings and change it to positive emotions.


MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE...!!

PART 1: MY HAPPY THOUGHTS


 -CANDIES SYMBOLIZES MY YOUNGER SISTERS.










-CAR SYMBOLIZES MY FAMILY AND OUR VACATION TRIPS BEFORE.






-RIBBONS SYMBOLIZES THE AWARDS I GOT FROM THE PAST AND MY GOOD DEEDS THAT PEOPLE RECOGNIZED FROM ME.




-CLOWN SYMBOLIZES THE COSTUME THAT I WEAR ON THE CHILDREN'S LITERATURE DAY AND THE PLAY WHEREIN I'M THE ONE WHO WROTE THE SCRIPT.








-DRIVER'S LICENSED SYMBOLIZES THE FIRST PRIVILEGED THAT I AVAIL.







-SYMBOLIZES MY BEST FRIEND AND MY FRIENDS.











-SYMBOLIZES THE GUY I IDOLIZED.. I CALL HIM "MR. NICE GUY"...






           EXPLANATION:


                                    Candies symbolizes my young sisters because i am happy when i see them happy too. I am happy when we were playing together. I love the feeling when i can give them something they like because I know they are very happy when they receive something from me. For me, they are the reason why I want to find a good job someday. I want to provide all the things they need, the things that I haven't before.

                                      Car  is the symbol of my vacation trips with the family and relatives. Every time I remember our vacation trips before, I really missed it, because that's the only way that our whole family have bonding together. Those trips also is one of the bridges to make some family problems be solved. I really enjoy the company of my family and with them I really feel the happiness.. 

                                        Ribbons are the symbols for the experiences wherein people recognized my good deeds. I am happy when they say that I done it well or I am very good in doing it. I want people to see the things that I do and I wish that they may appreciate it. From there I feel very happy.

                                       Clown is for the children's literature day that one of my proffesor conducted before. I am very happy in that moment because I saw the children enjoying in watching the two plays that we  created. 

                                        Driver's Licensed is one of the important things that made me feel very happy. It made me feel more responsible when i got it. It is also one of my dreams, to have a licensed in driving. I want to drive lots of cars. And i hope someday I'll have one.. :)

                                         Cellular Phones this symbolizes my Best friend and my friends whom i always call "TOL". I am happy when I'm with their company. I enjoy the corny jokes and lots of problems they shared with me. But most of all, I am happy when they ask me to go out and treat me some goodies. I love it when they give or buy something for me, for FREE.. :)

                                             Last but not the least, Eyeglass. This is for the man i idolize. I am happy when I see him.. That's all.. :)


 PART II: THE HINDRANCES

  • Financial
  • lack of free time
  • criticizes
  • accidents
  • misunderstood and misinterpretation
  • standards in life
  • low tempered
  • demanding
  • sensitive
  • emotional

PART III: WHAT CAN HELP YOU MAINTAIN THE HAPPY THOUGHTS

                   To maintain my happy thoughts, I think, I need to be more understanding and considerate. Become more patient. And also need to be careful. 
                    Accepting the situations and do something that is best to solve the problem is the best thing I can do right now. I need to have the self-confidence to do those things, so that I can maintain the happy thoughts I have. I must also learn how to control my emotions in every situation to eliminate the fears, worries and doubt. I need to know how to trust others and give them chance to prove their selves. And also accept the negative comments and use it as a guide to do things better.
