IS SOMETHING MISSING????

The mornings have become cooler and misty…..the sun has shortened his daily visits by a few hours….he too prefers to have a cozy sleep under the star decked blankets of the night….in short the nature herself is in her wonderful winter gown. Another Christmas season has come…the very air is filled with the jingling of the Christmas bells…every child is in that dreamland….which consists of the Santa Claus with his snow white beard and bag full of gifts, the multicoloured twinkling stars, Christmas trees, cribs, cards….etc…But is there something missing…?? May b or may not be….however the eldest members of the family say so…They say the very spirit of Christmas is missing….
Today Christmas, like any other festival, has become an opportunity for shopping, eating, drinking and what not….a time to satisfy the material pleasures; is that the real sprit of Christmas??? It is impossible to think so…but who has the time to think?? So without thinking….by missing something or the other the so called modern and civilized man is leading his life…does this life has an origin or spirit or purpose….something yet to be discovered!!!!!

What is the spirit of Christmas? I think we expect too much of it. Some people want grand get together. Some want it very religious etc. I would like to think that it is a gathering of the family. It needn't be very high key. As long as we can just enjoy the day it is all that matters :) Just my view!
